Mastic sealing in Budhill, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance.

A single leaking joint is often how a building in Budhill first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- 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.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Shettleston station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Budhill?
Work on shared parts is typically agreed by the owners, often through a property factor. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
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.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Getting access arranged for a building in Budhill takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Block-wide mastic in Budhill
Being in the west of Scotland, Budhill gets more rain than eastern areas. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
If your remit includes a building such as Eastbank Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you look after a block within reach of Shettleston station, which lies north-east of Budhill, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you are responsible for a building such as St Serf's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
