Resealed mastic joints in East Mains carry our 12-month guarantee.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Track which buildings were done and when
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
East Mains: questions and answers
Is Scottish Enterprise Technology Park (Birniehill), near East Mains, within your area?
Yes, sites like Scottish Enterprise Technology Park (Birniehill) are within our area, along with the rest of East Mains. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is East Mains too far out for you?
Not at all. East Mains is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Signs you need mastic sealing in East Mains
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as East Kilbride station, under half a mile west of East Mains, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
