Questions we’re asked in Airdriehill
Will you take on a block within reach of Drumgelloch station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Does your area include sites such as Flowerhill Industrial Estate, near Airdriehill?
Yes. Our area takes in Airdriehill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Flowerhill Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Mastic sealing in Airdriehill
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is draughts at frames across a block and leaks at window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Airdriehill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around Airdriehill, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Airdriehill
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Failed external movement joints
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damp patches beside frames
If you look after a block within reach of Drumgelloch station, 1.1 miles to the south of Airdriehill, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Frames, entrances and external joints in Airdriehill
Being in the east of Scotland, Airdriehill gets less rain than the west coast. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Programmes allow for that
If your remit includes a building such as Airdrie Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Clarkston Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Share your contractor requirements early
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
