From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tannochside is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Advice
Facade sealing in Tannochside, done properly
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is discoloured or dirty facade joints and water coming in around window frames. Most enquiries from Tannochside start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Tannochside is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What affects the price in Tannochside
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What we’re called out for in Tannochside
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
Hotels like Redstones Hotel, 0.7 miles south-west of Tannochside, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What your quote should include
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Mastic packages on Tannochside sites
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Tannochside. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Building work in Tannochside comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Extensions at sites like Kirklands Hospital, 1.4 miles south of Tannochside, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When a school such as Uddingston Grammar School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade instead of soaking the joints.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
Questions about Tannochside
Is a smaller place like Tannochside outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate, by Tannochside?
Yes. Our area takes in Tannochside and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Tannochside before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
