Mastic sealing in Cardonald
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you have occupiers reporting cold air round windows and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Cardonald, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Scotland’s cities, housing associations look after blocks and estates of every age. A planned programme deals with failed mastic across an estate, block by block, with residents given notice through the landlord.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Cardonald: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cardonald, such as Craigton Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Craigton Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Cardonald. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
We manage a building near Hillington East station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is Cardonald in your area?
Yes. Cardonald is in our area. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Commercial clients in Cardonald
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Cardonald can form part of a wider programme.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

What else we do in Cardonald
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email us. You can also send details through our quote form.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
When to call us in Cardonald
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Site managers at schools like Lourdes Secondary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
