Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
About our mastic sealing in Mossblown
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Mossblown, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Mossblown, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mossblown
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Mossblown. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- A fixed quote before work starts
- One number for every site we cover
- Failed material removed, not covered up

What else we do in Mossblown
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Blocks and managed buildings in Mossblown
Mossblown is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Prestwick Town station (3.5 miles west of Mossblown) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Student blocks close to universities like University of the West of Scotland - Ayr Campus, 4.1 miles south-west of Mossblown, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
Mossblown is about 3 miles east of Prestwick, in South Ayrshire. Looking for mastic sealing in Mossblown? We can help, as we do across South Ayrshire. Mossblown is one of 48 places in South Ayrshire on our list for mastic joints. We also cover Glasgow, around 27 miles from Mossblown.

Advice
What we are called out for in Mossblown
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Water getting in round frames after rain
If your remit includes a building such as Drumley House School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Your questions answered
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Prestwick Town station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Mossblown outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
