Common questions from Hyndland clients
We manage a building near Hyndland station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Hyndland?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. Send details and photographs, and we will quote to whoever is arranging it.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
About our mastic sealing in Hyndland
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. Most enquiries from Hyndland 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.
Scotland’s city blocks are largely sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite, so perimeter mastic around replacement windows has to be neutral-cure and kind to the masonry.
Work we carry out in Glasgow comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows usually get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Getting access arranged for a building in Hyndland takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Hyndland
Hyndland is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates. The 2 miles around Hyndland include two care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
For owners of several units at places like West End Retail Park (less than half a mile south of Hyndland), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Hyndland station (to the west of Hyndland) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Signs you need mastic sealing in Hyndland
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Older community buildings, Hyndland Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For premises in Hyndland, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
