What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Mastic sealing in Broomhouse
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting in round frames after rain and communal area joints that look neglected. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broomhouse from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Broomhouse is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Broomhouse, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Related advice
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Looking after buildings in and around Broomhouse
Being in the west of Scotland, Broomhouse gets more rain than eastern areas. The weather side of a block normally needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme. The 2 miles around Broomhouse include two care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Trustees of buildings like Baillieston St Andrew's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. For a school such as Bannerman High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Property owners at sites such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate, 1 mile to the east of Broomhouse, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Broomhouse: questions and answers
Is Broomhouse off your patch?
Not at all. Broomhouse is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can work in a care setting near Broomhouse go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
