Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Drumry
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Drumry? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller Scottish places like Drumry, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.

Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows usually get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.

How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work in Drumry?
Yes. We cover Drumry, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
