FAQs: Chapelhall
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Drumgelloch station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you work at a site such as Chapelhall Industrial Estate, by Chapelhall?
Yes. We cover Chapelhall and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chapelhall Industrial Estate. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
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 confirm the approach in the quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, 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. Inside work is seldom held up.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chapelhall
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Chapelhall before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.
