Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Mastic sealing in Newton, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Newton carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and damp patches beside frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Newton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Newton is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Looking after buildings in and around Newton
Newton has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. Newton is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
For a school such as Uddingston Grammar School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For owners of several units at places like Birkenshaw Trading Estate, 1.7 miles north-east of Newton, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Newton is about 1 mile east of Cambuslang, in South Lanarkshire. Our applicators travel to Newton for work on mastic joints. 134 places across South Lanarkshire fall within our area, Newton among them. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area (6 miles or so).

Newton: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate, by Newton?
Yes. We cover Newton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Newton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Newton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

When to call us in Newton
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
Student blocks close to universities like University of Strathclyde (4.8 miles north-west of Newton) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
