About our mastic sealing in Nisbet
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Nisbet carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Nisbet is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Nisbet is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Nisbet, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Questions we are asked in Nisbet
Do you cover business parks and estates near Nisbet, such as Station Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Station Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Nisbet. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Nisbet outside your area?
Not at all. Nisbet is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
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.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What affects the price in Nisbet
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Nisbet. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

If you are responsible for a building such as Crailing Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
