Mastic sealing in Gordon

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Mastic sealing in Gordon
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and failed external movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Gordon, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Gordon, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Gordon. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Common questions from Gordon clients
Is Gordon off your patch?
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.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Gordon?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
