Mastic sealing in Alexandria
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Alexandria? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around Alexandria, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode

- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What else we do in Alexandria
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs near Alexandria are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

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, photographs and a description will do.
Related advice
Why act early in Alexandria
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Alexandria, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Alexandria
Being in the west of Scotland, Alexandria gets more rain than eastern areas. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
Site managers at schools like Vale of Leven Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you own or manage units on a site such as Vale of Leven Industrial Estate (1.7 miles south of Alexandria), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Alexandria station (to the south-east of Alexandria) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
