About our mastic sealing in Bothwell
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Bothwell, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Bothwell, 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 behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Bothwell
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Bothwell, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Questions we are asked in Bothwell
Is Bothwell too far out for you?
No. Places such as Bothwell are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
We manage a building near Blantyre station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you need mastic sealing in Bothwell?
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
If your remit includes a building such as Uddingston Grammar School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
