What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
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.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.

Planned mastic for Old Monkland portfolios
Being in the west of Scotland, Old Monkland gets more rain than eastern areas. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Dundyvan Industrial Estate (0.5 miles north-east of Old Monkland), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If you look after a block within reach of Kirkwood station (less than half a mile north-west of Old Monkland), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Old Monkland
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Failed external movement joints
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
For a school such as Drumpark School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What affects the price in Old Monkland
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
