About our mastic sealing in Parkhouse
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Most enquiries involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and window mastic that has split and shrunk, across external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Parkhouse is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
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 typically agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to call us in Parkhouse
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Draughts at frames across a block
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Nitshill station, 0.5 miles to the north of Parkhouse, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions we’re asked in Parkhouse
Do you cover business parks and estates near Parkhouse, such as South Nitshill Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like South Nitshill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Parkhouse. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do tenement owners in Parkhouse get shared-part mastic done?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We’re happy to deal with the factor directly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
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. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. 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 comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
