On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is movement joints with sealant missing and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Newbigging is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Newbigging is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.

Quoting for work in Newbigging
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:

What we’re called out for in Newbigging
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Damp patches beside frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Newbigging, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Newbigging outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Newbigging?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Newbigging. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
