Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Claverhouse
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Claverhouse, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
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 typically agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Claverhouse can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For premises in Claverhouse, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Common questions from Claverhouse clients
Does the sea air around Claverhouse change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in Claverhouse usually organised?
Work on shared parts is typically agreed by the owners, often through a property factor. Send details and photos, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Looking after buildings in and around Claverhouse
Claverhouse is within about 3 miles of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Claverhouse is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Site managers at schools like Scottish School of Contemporary Dance can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Dundee station (to the south of Claverhouse) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
