Mastic sealing in Corkerhill
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and damp patches beside frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Corkerhill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Housing associations and councils in Scotland’s cities manage large estates of flats and maisonettes. Planned mastic programmes can renew frame and external joints block by block.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
FAQs: Corkerhill
Is Craigton Industrial Estate, near Corkerhill, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Corkerhill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Craigton Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work in a care home near Corkerhill with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
