About our mastic sealing in Ashgill
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about water getting in round frames after rain and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ashgill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Ashgill is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Ashgill as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common problems we fix in Ashgill
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- No planned programme for sealant
Property owners at sites such as Netherton Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles to the north of Ashgill, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Ashgill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Ashgill
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Frames, entrances and external joints in Ashgill
Ashgill is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Older community buildings, Dalserf Kirk among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. With historic buildings such as Cambusnethan House, 1.9 miles to the north of Ashgill, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Ashgill should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Ashgill: questions and answers
Is Netherton Industrial Estate, near Ashgill, within your area?
Yes. We cover Ashgill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Netherton Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Larkhall station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Is Ashgill in your area?
Yes. Sites across Ashgill are covered.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
