How we handle mastic sealing in Eccles
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Eccles first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Eccles, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Eccles as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions we’re asked in Eccles
Is Eccles too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Eccles?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

For owners and agents with buildings in or around Eccles, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together. Near Eccles, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Eccles is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
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:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
Why it’s worth doing now in Eccles
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Around smaller places like Eccles, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
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.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
