How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For premises in Gowrie Park, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.

- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Tenements are a large part of the housing in Scotland’s cities, and shared repairs often go through a property factor. Mastic around windows and on shared parts can be renewed across a close or a whole block, with the owners agreeing the work.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When to call us in Gowrie Park
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Draughts at frames across a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Older buildings near Gowrie Park, from historic houses such as Camperdown House (1.3 miles north of Gowrie Park) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What you get with us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Commercial sealant work since 2005

FAQs: Gowrie Park
Can you quote for a block close to Invergowrie station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Gowrie Park?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you work in Gowrie Park?
Yes. We cover Gowrie Park and the rest of Dundee. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.

Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
