Site managers at schools like Lesmahagow High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Lesmahagow Old Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Brocketsbrae, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
What we’re called out for in Brocketsbrae
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Lanark station, 4.6 miles north-east of Brocketsbrae, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Brocketsbrae: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Lanark station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Will you take on work at estates like Gateside Industrial Estate, close to Brocketsbrae?
Yes. Our area takes in Brocketsbrae and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gateside Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Brocketsbrae before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
