Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Auldhouse
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. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Searching for sealant specialists in Auldhouse? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Auldhouse, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Auldhouse
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next.

- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.

Advice
Auldhouse: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Kelvin South Business Park, close to Auldhouse?
Yes. Our area takes in Auldhouse and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kelvin South Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near East Kilbride station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
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.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
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.

What else we do in Auldhouse
Do you need mastic sealing in Auldhouse?
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
If your remit includes a building such as Duncanrig Secondary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
