Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Hillend
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have draughts at frames across a block and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Hillend? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In smaller Scottish places like Hillend, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs: Hillend
Does your area include sites such as Restenneth Business Park, near Hillend?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hillend, Restenneth Business Park among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Hillend outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
