Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

- External wall and movement joints
About our mastic sealing in Crutherland
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. Site teams most often ask us about worn sealant at communal door frames and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Crutherland first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Crutherland, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Crutherland
Being in the west of Scotland, Crutherland gets more rain than eastern areas. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days.
For agents with blocks near East Kilbride station (1.9 miles north-west of Crutherland), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Site managers at schools like Mount Cameron Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of East Kilbride station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Crutherland, such as Kelvin South Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Crutherland, Kelvin South Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and spreads the work.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.

What else we do in Crutherland
Common problems we fix in Crutherland
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
If you own or manage units on a site such as Kelvin South Business Park (0.5 miles west of Crutherland), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
