When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Burnbrae
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you’re dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Burnbrae from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Burnbrae is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
What happens if it’s left?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Around smaller places like Burnbrae, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Questions we are asked in Burnbrae
Is Burnbrae too far out for you?
Not at all. Burnbrae is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Glenburn Industrial Estate, close to Burnbrae?
Yes. Our area takes in Burnbrae and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Glenburn Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
