About our mastic sealing in Blythswood Hill
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you are dealing with cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and draughts at frames across a block, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Blythswood Hill, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Scotland’s city blocks are largely sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite, so perimeter mastic around replacement windows has to be neutral-cure and kind to the masonry.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Questions we are asked in Blythswood Hill
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Blythswood Hill?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Blythswood Hill in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Blythswood Hill, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Blythswood Hill, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
