Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Mansewood
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain 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. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Mansewood it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sandstone tenements in most Scottish cities, and granite in Aberdeen, need mastic that suits the stone, and replacement windows set into those walls need a perimeter sealant that won’t mark the stone.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Common problems we fix in Mansewood
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus (3.9 miles north of Mansewood), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
