About our mastic sealing in Balmore
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Balmore it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Balmore, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Balmore

- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
When to call us in Balmore
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Glasgow Garscube Campus (3.7 miles south-west of Balmore), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

Questions about Balmore
Is a smaller place like Balmore outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Balmore, such as Low Moss Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Balmore and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Low Moss Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.

How a job runs
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For work around Balmore, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
