About our mastic sealing in Dillarburn
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Dillarburn it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Dillarburn is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

FAQs: Dillarburn
Can you quote for a block close to Lanark station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Gateside Industrial Estate, near Dillarburn, within your area?
Yes, sites like Gateside Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Dillarburn. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work in Dillarburn?
Yes. Sites across Dillarburn are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
