After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
About our facade sealing in Scotstoun
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you’re dealing with perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and patch repairs that keep failing, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Scotstoun? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

Commercial clients in Scotstoun
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Questions about Scotstoun
Can work at a site such as University of Glasgow Garscube Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
When to call us in Scotstoun
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, typically comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Extensions at sites like The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus (1.1 miles south of Scotstoun) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
