Mastic sealing in Broadmeadows
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Broadmeadows tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Broadmeadows is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Track which buildings were done and when
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Broadmeadows. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Questions we’re asked in Broadmeadows
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Broadmeadows?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Broadmeadows?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Broadmeadows in your area?
Yes. Broadmeadows is in our area and the rest of the Scottish Borders, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- How accessible the joints are
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
