Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in New Lanark
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and movement joints with sealant missing. A single leaking joint is often how a building in New Lanark first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like New Lanark is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about New Lanark
We manage a building near Lanark station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is New Lanark too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.

Mastic sealing around New Lanark: what changes locally
New Lanark is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on.
If you look after a block within reach of Lanark station, which lies north-east of New Lanark, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Landlords with units on estates such as Braidfute Retail Park (0.7 miles north-east of New Lanark) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as New Lanark Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
