What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Mastic sealing in Mosspark, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Mosspark carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have occupiers reporting cold air round windows and damp patches beside frames, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Mosspark, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In Scotland’s cities, housing associations look after blocks and estates of every age. Planned mastic programmes can renew frame and external joints block by block, with residents given notice through the landlord.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

Commercial clients in Mosspark
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Questions we’re asked in Mosspark
Does your area include sites such as Craigton Industrial Estate, near Mosspark?
Yes. We cover Mosspark and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Craigton Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote for a block close to Corkerhill station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Looking after buildings in and around Mosspark
The 2 miles around Mosspark include two care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. Mosspark is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Student accommodation around universities such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus, 2.7 miles north-east of Mosspark, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. Schools and community buildings such as Craigton Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. For owners of several units at places like Craigton Industrial Estate, which lies north of Mosspark, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What the job involves on each surface
