- Glazing that needs replacing

Questions about Cardrona
Is Cardrona off your patch?
Not at all. Cardrona is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Cardrona, such as Cavalry Park Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cardrona, Cavalry Park Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Cardrona
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Why act early in Cardrona
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

If you are responsible for a building such as William Cree Memorial Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
