Mastic sealing in Jordanhill, done properly
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Jordanhill, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In Scotland’s cities, housing associations look after blocks and estates of every age. A planned programme deals with failed mastic across an estate, block by block.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For premises in Jordanhill, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Mastic sealing in Jordanhill: the local picture
Jordanhill is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block normally needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Jordanhill. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
For a school such as Jordanhill College, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For agents with blocks near Scotstounhill station, which lies west of Jordanhill, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

When to call us in Jordanhill
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Property owners at sites such as Knightswood Shopping Centre (0.8 miles west of Jordanhill) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Why it’s worth doing now in Jordanhill
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Failed sealant in a shared building in Jordanhill can affect more than one owner. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why appoint us
- Constructionline member for supplier checks

Jordanhill: questions and answers
Will you work in a care home in Jordanhill without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for a block close to Scotstounhill station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
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.
