Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Cowie
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Cowie carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are draught complaints from residents or tenants and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Most enquiries from Cowie start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Cowie, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Cowie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Looking after buildings in and around Cowie
Cowie sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first. Cowie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Programmes allow for that
If you own or manage units on a site such as Bandeath Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Cowie, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Buildings close to stations like Stirling station, 3.7 miles north-west of Cowie, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Stirling (4.8 miles north-west of Cowie), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
