Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why clients in Auchenshuggle choose us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Auchenshuggle
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, across communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Auchenshuggle is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Scotland’s city blocks are largely sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite, and replacement windows set into those walls need a perimeter sealant that won’t mark the stone.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Track which buildings were done and when
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Common questions from Auchenshuggle clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Carmyle station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in Auchenshuggle normally organised?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. Send details and photographs, and we will quote to whoever is arranging it.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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 are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For premises in Auchenshuggle, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need mastic sealing in Auchenshuggle?
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damp patches beside frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
Older community buildings, Victoria Tollcross Church and Hall among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
