- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

About our mastic sealing in Kelvingrove
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and no planned programme for sealant, across external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kelvingrove is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sandstone tenements in most Scottish cities, and granite in Aberdeen, need mastic that suits the stone, so perimeter mastic around replacement windows has to be neutral-cure and kind to the masonry.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

FAQs: Kelvingrove
Can you work in a care home near Kelvingrove with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
We manage a building near Exhibition Centre station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
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.
Is Kelvingrove in your area?
Yes. Kelvingrove is in our area. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. City jobs in Kelvingrove normally need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open

Planned mastic for Kelvingrove portfolios
Kelvingrove is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates. There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Kelvingrove. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Kelvingrove Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Owners of student blocks near University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus (less than half a mile north-west of Kelvingrove) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.

Commercial clients in Kelvingrove
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Kelvingrove
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Property owners at sites such as Finnieston Business Park, less than half a mile to the south of Kelvingrove, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
