About mastic sealing in South Lanarkshire

Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and leaks at window and door perimeters, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints.

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

  1. We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
  2. The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
  3. Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
  4. Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

Blocks and managed buildings across South Lanarkshire

Buildings across South Lanarkshire range from older blocks with replacement windows to recent developments. Mastic of different ages and quality often sits side by side, so we look at the whole elevation before quoting.

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but external sealing anywhere in Scotland needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so we keep some flexibility in the dates.

East Kilbride: If you own or manage units on a site such as Queensway Retail Park, which lies north-west of East Kilbride, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Site managers at schools like Duncanrig Secondary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

What sets the cost

Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:

  • Any access equipment needed
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Before you send an enquiry

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • The site address and postcode
  • The product your specification calls for

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Why it fails

Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.

Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:

  • Damp patches beside frames
  • Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
  • Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk

Leave it or put it right?

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.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

How the job changes by surface

Estate-wide resealing programmes

Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.

Window and door perimeters on blocks

Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.

What sealant work can’t fix

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:

  • Substrate edges that need repairing first
  • Broken glass or failed sealed units
  • Frames that are rotten, warped or broken

Questions about South Lanarkshire

Can you seal joints high up on a block?

Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.

Will you quote for a small job?

Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

Do you cover South Lanarkshire?

Yes. South Lanarkshire is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Who decides which product is used?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

What do you charge?

Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.

Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?

We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.

Do you need to see the site first?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
