Mastic sealing for Greengairs sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
About our mastic sealing in Greengairs
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. Most enquiries involve occupiers reporting cold air round windows and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, across balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Greengairs first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Greengairs, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

However big the job, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Advice
What we’re called out for in Greengairs
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Movement joints with sealant missing
If you own or manage units on a site such as Blairlinn Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Greengairs, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Your questions answered
Is Greengairs too far out for you?
Not at all. Greengairs is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Greengairs, such as Blairlinn Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Greengairs and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Blairlinn Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.

What else we do in Greengairs
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
