Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Auldgirth
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Auldgirth first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Auldgirth, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Auldgirth, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

Auldgirth: questions and answers
Is Auldgirth too far out for you?
No. Places such as Auldgirth are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
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.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.

Typical triggers for a call:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
