Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Netherton, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
Mastic sealing in Netherton, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Netherton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Housing associations and councils in Scotland’s cities manage large estates of flats and maisonettes. Planned mastic programmes can renew frame and external joints block by block.
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.

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Doing it in-house
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 normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Netherton: questions and answers
Can you work in a care home near Netherton with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can you work at a site such as Anniesland Industrial Estate, by Netherton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Netherton, Anniesland Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you work in Netherton?
Yes. We cover Netherton. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Leave it or put it right?
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 occupiers notice. Getting access arranged for a building in Netherton takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product and we choose accordingly.
For owners and agents in Netherton
Netherton has seven care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents. Being in the west of Scotland, Netherton gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Westerton station (to the north-west of Netherton) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Glasgow Garscube Campus (to the north-east of Netherton) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. If your remit includes a building such as Knightswood Secondary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
