Common questions from Lasswade clients
Is Eldin Industrial Estate, near Lasswade, within your area?
Yes, sites like Eldin Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Lasswade. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Lasswade too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Lasswade is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
About our mastic sealing in Lasswade
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. Site teams most often ask us about movement joints with sealant missing and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Whoever orders the work in Lasswade, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Lasswade is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to call us in Lasswade
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Historic properties like Melville Castle (to the north-east of Lasswade) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Lasswade, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send your site hours and access windows

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Why act early in Lasswade
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. Around smaller places like Lasswade, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
