Mastic sealing for businesses in Hurlet
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Mastic sealing in Hurlet
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and complaints coming in block by block. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hurlet tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Many of Scotland’s city tenements are looked after by property factors. Shared-part mastic work is typically agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Hurlet, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Hurlet
How do tenement owners in Hurlet get shared-part mastic done?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. We are happy to deal with the factor directly.
Can you work in a care home near Hurlet with residents in?
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.
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?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

What affects the price in Hurlet
What shapes the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- Your programme or deadline
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Hurlet
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.
Look out for the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Complaints coming in block by block
Older buildings near Hurlet, from historic houses such as Pollok House, 2.2 miles to the east of Hurlet, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Why act early in Hurlet
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
