What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we handle mastic sealing in Moffat Mills
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you’re dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Moffat Mills, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Moffat Mills, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Quoting for work in Moffat Mills
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Moffat Mills. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Moffat Mills with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Moffat Mills: questions and answers
Is Moffat Mills too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Chapelhall Industrial Estate, near Moffat Mills?
Yes, sites like Chapelhall Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Moffat Mills. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
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.
