Bridgefoot: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Dryburgh Industrial Estate, by Bridgefoot?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Bridgefoot, Dryburgh Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Dundee station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
About our mastic sealing in Bridgefoot
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Bridgefoot is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Bridgefoot is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around

Frames, entrances and external joints in Bridgefoot
The east of Scotland, where Bridgefoot is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Owners of student blocks near Abertay University (to the south-east of Bridgefoot) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation. Site managers at schools like Baldragon Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works. For agents with blocks near Dundee station (3.7 miles south-east of Bridgefoot), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Bridgefoot is about 3 miles north-west of Dundee, in Angus. Anywhere in DD3, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Bridgefoot is one of 65 places we cover in Angus for mastic joints.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout DD3, whatever the building. Buildings on Strathmartine Road, Parklands Place and Hillview Terrace are within our area for mastic joints.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Bridgefoot with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry 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.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Ask for a quote

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Why act early in Bridgefoot
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Bridgefoot. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
