Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Newarthill
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Newarthill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Newarthill, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Newarthill: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Newhouse Industrial Estate, close to Newarthill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Newarthill, Newhouse 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 take on a block within reach of Carfin station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around smaller places like Newarthill, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
What we are called out for in Newarthill
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
With historic buildings such as Cambusnethan House, 4.3 miles to the south of Newarthill, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Newarthill should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
