Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of New Cumnock station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Bankglen?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
About our mastic sealing in Bankglen
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Bankglen 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 Bankglen, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.

What else we do in Bankglen
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
For owners and agents in Bankglen
Bankglen is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Trustees of buildings like Martyrs Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you look after a block within reach of New Cumnock station (1.3 miles north-east of Bankglen), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Jobs near Bankglen are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Bankglen, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before work starts
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
