Mastic sealing in Bardowie, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you’re dealing with damp patches beside frames and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Bardowie 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.
In smaller Scottish places like Bardowie, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Bardowie
Bardowie is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Low Moss Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Bardowie, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If your remit includes a building such as Boclair Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Other services in Bardowie
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Bardowie: questions and answers
Is Bardowie too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Low Moss Industrial Estate, close to Bardowie?
Yes, sites like Low Moss Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Bardowie. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Bardowie, 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.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

When to call us in Bardowie
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Older buildings near Bardowie, from historic houses such as Tenement House, 4.5 miles to the south of Bardowie, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
