Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Airbles
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you’re dealing with patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and no planned programme for sealant, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Airbles is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Airbles is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Airbles: questions and answers
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Airbles station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Airbles off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Common problems we fix in Airbles
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Airbles station (to the west of Airbles) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Quoting for work in Airbles
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
For owners and agents in Airbles
The east of Scotland, where Airbles is, gets less rain than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on.
Landlords with units on estates such as Orbiston Business Park (to the east of Airbles) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Site managers at schools like Dalziel High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
