Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in North Kelvinside
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you have open joints in brickwork or panels and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover North Kelvinside? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Housing associations and councils in Scotland’s cities manage large estates of flats and maisonettes. A planned programme deals with failed mastic across an estate, block by block.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Questions we’re asked in North Kelvinside
Do you work in occupied care homes around North Kelvinside?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
How is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in North Kelvinside usually organised?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We’re happy to deal with the factor directly.
Do you cover North Kelvinside?
Yes. We cover North Kelvinside, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Do you need mastic sealing in North Kelvinside?
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Typical triggers for a call:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Landlords with units on estates such as Oakbank Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles to the south-east of North Kelvinside, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
