Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Greenhills, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Greenhills
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve draught complaints from residents or tenants and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Greenhills it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Greenhills is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions about Greenhills
Is Greenhills too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Dunlop station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Greenhills with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Blocks and managed buildings in Greenhills
Greenhills is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
With historic buildings such as Montgreenan, 4.4 miles south-west of Greenhills, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Greenhills should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Buildings close to stations like Dunlop station, 2.4 miles to the east of Greenhills, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
