How we handle mastic sealing in Harthill
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Most enquiries involve water getting in round frames after rain and open joints in brickwork or panels, on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. Most enquiries from Harthill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Harthill, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

Questions about Harthill
Can you quote for a block close to Blackridge station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you take on work at estates like Harthill Industrial Estate, close to Harthill?
Yes. We cover Harthill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Harthill Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
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, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Harthill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Getting a fixed quote

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

When to call us in Harthill
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Draughts at frames across a block
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Blackridge station, 1.6 miles north of Harthill, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
