Mastic sealing for businesses in New Leeds

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Do you need mastic sealing in New Leeds?

Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.

Look out for the following:

  • Draughts at frames across a block
  • Worn sealant at communal door frames
  • Open joints in brickwork or panels
  • A mix of products and colours from past repairs

For owners and agents with buildings in or around New Leeds, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

What to look for in a quote

  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in New Leeds

Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. Looking for mastic applicators who cover New Leeds? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

In smaller Scottish places like New Leeds, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in New Leeds as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs near New Leeds are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

  1. We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
  2. A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
  3. The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
  4. Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
  5. Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
  6. Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

Before we start on site

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Make sure the joints can be reached

Getting a fixed quote

What sets the cost

Before we quote, we look at:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Sending details for a quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Your programme or deadline

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Questions we are asked in New Leeds

Is New Leeds off your patch?

Not at all. New Leeds is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Which documents can you supply for work in New Leeds?

We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.

How do I request a quote?

You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.

Will you quote for a small job?

Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?

Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.

When can the area be used after sealing?

That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

What the job involves on each surface

Planned maintenance

We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.

Estate-wide resealing programmes

A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

What we can’t put right

Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:

  • Leaks from above rather than through a joint
  • Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
  • Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first

If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

What we seal

  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • External wall and movement joints
