About our mastic sealing in Carntyne
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you’re dealing with worn sealant at communal door frames and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Carntyne first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Tenements are a large part of the housing in Scotland’s cities, and shared repairs often go through a property factor. Shared-part mastic work is usually agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
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.

Carntyne: questions and answers
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Carntyne?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Carntyne, such as Carntyne Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Carntyne Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Carntyne. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
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 suspect material is tested first.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Carntyne
Carntyne is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Carntyne station, 0.5 miles south-east of Carntyne, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Landlords with units on estates such as Carntyne Industrial Estate, under half a mile south-east of Carntyne, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Carntyne is about 3 miles east of Glasgow, in Glasgow. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Carntyne, we can help, as we do across Glasgow. Carntyne is one of 171 places in Glasgow on our list for mastic joints.

If your building is just outside Carntyne, we cover Riddrie (1 mile north), Lightburn (1 mile east), Cranhill (1 mile east), Greenfield (1 mile south-east) and Parkhead (1 mile south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Glasgow (3 miles west), Hillhead (4 miles west), Dowanhill (5 miles west), Woodlands (4 miles west), Woodside (3 miles west) and North Kelvinside (4 miles west).

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Quoting for work in Carntyne
Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. City jobs in Carntyne usually need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
