Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Mastic sealing in Devonburn
For blocks and buildings in Devonburn and across South Lanarkshire, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have damp patches beside frames and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Devonburn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Devonburn is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: 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.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Devonburn
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints

- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Do you need mastic sealing in Devonburn?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Failed external movement joints
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Draughts at frames across a block
Trustees of buildings like Lesmahagow Old Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near Devonburn, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Questions about Devonburn
Can you work at a site such as Gateside Industrial Estate, by Devonburn?
Yes. We cover Devonburn and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gateside Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Devonburn too far out for you?
Not at all. Devonburn is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
For owners and agents in Devonburn
Devonburn is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Property owners at sites such as Gateside Industrial Estate (0.8 miles south-west of Devonburn) can have mastic renewed between lettings. For a school such as Lesmahagow High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Around smaller places like Devonburn, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What you get with us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
