Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Lower Gledfield
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are worn sealant at communal door frames and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block.

What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Lower Gledfield, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Lower Gledfield: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Lower Gledfield affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a smaller place like Lower Gledfield outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Mastic sealing around Lower Gledfield: what changes locally
Lower Gledfield lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. The west of Scotland, where Lower Gledfield is, gets more rain than the east. The weather side of a block normally needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.

Common problems we fix in Lower Gledfield
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Look out for the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed external movement joints
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
