How we handle mastic sealing in New Stevenston
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is a mix of products and colours from past repairs and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in New Stevenston it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around New Stevenston, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

New Stevenston: questions and answers
Is New Stevenston off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is Braidhurst Industrial Estate, near New Stevenston, within your area?
Yes, sites like Braidhurst Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of New Stevenston. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.

Do you need mastic sealing in New Stevenston?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draughts at frames across a block
With historic buildings such as Cambusnethan House (to the south of New Stevenston) in the wider area, owners of older properties around New Stevenston should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
What to look for in a quote

What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
