Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs near Calderwood are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Blocks and managed buildings in Calderwood
Calderwood is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Programmes allow for that
With historic buildings such as Howden House (2.8 miles west of Calderwood) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Calderwood should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Kirknewton station, 1.1 miles south-east of Calderwood, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Do you need mastic sealing in Calderwood?
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Site managers at schools like Our Lady's High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Why it’s worth doing now in Calderwood
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Calderwood before they leak.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
