What we’re called out for in Gartloch
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:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Schools and community buildings such as St. Leonard's Secondary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Proof of insurance
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Gartloch

Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Gartloch it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Gartloch, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.

What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Gartloch. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Surface by surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Log resealing dates block by block
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs near Gartloch are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
