About our mastic sealing in Old Dailly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you have movement joints with sealant missing and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Old Dailly is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Old Dailly, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic usually fails first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Other services in Old Dailly
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Around smaller places like Old Dailly, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions about Old Dailly
Will you take on work at estates like Grangestone Industrial Estate, close to Old Dailly?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Old Dailly, Grangestone Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Old Dailly off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Old Dailly is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
