Cost factors for mastic joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Parkgrove
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Parkgrove, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Tenements are a large part of the housing in Scotland’s cities, and shared repairs often go through a property factor. Shared-part mastic work is usually agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common questions from Parkgrove clients
Can you work in a care home near Parkgrove with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
We manage a building near South Gyle station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you work in Parkgrove?
Yes. We take on work across Parkgrove.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, 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. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Getting access arranged for a building in Parkgrove takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Parkgrove
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
