About our mastic sealing in Auchenreoch
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. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and failed external movement joints. Most enquiries from Auchenreoch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Auchenreoch, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.

Questions we are asked in Auchenreoch
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Lenzie station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is a smaller place like Auchenreoch outside your area?
Not at all. Auchenreoch is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
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.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Auchenreoch
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Auchenreoch, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

When to call us in Auchenreoch
