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, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Laurieston with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.

Questions about Laurieston
Do you work in occupied care homes around Laurieston?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Polmont station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Is Laurieston in your area?
Yes. Laurieston is in our area and the rest of Falkirk. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
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 we quote building by building or as a programme.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Common problems we fix in Laurieston
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Property owners at sites such as Redding Industrial Estate (0.8 miles south of Laurieston) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

If you look after a block within reach of Polmont station, 1.5 miles south-east of Laurieston, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Schools and community buildings such as Graeme High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
