Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic sealing in Gourdon, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you’re dealing with brittle perimeter mastic across a building and failed external movement joints, we can help, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Gourdon it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Gourdon, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What else we do in Gourdon
When to call us in Gourdon
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- No planned programme for sealant
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Old Parish Church And Churchyard are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What to look for in a quote
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their public liability cover
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Gourdon, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints

Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Gourdon before they leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Gourdon: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Gourdon change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Gourdon too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Gourdon is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Planned mastic for Gourdon portfolios
Gourdon lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first; plan inspections around that. Being in the east of Scotland, Gourdon gets less rain than the west coast. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Landlords with units on estates such as Linton Business Park (to the north of Gourdon) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
