What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
About our mastic sealing in Partick
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about no planned programme for sealant and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Partick tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Scotland’s cities, housing associations look after blocks and estates of every age. Planned mastic programmes can renew frame and external joints block by block.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Blocks and managed buildings in Partick
The west of Scotland, where Partick is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind. Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Partick. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Property owners at sites such as West End Retail Park (to the north-west of Partick) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you look after a block within reach of Partick station, less than half a mile south of Partick, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Owners of student blocks near University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus, 0.8 miles to the east of Partick, can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.

Questions about Partick
Do you cover business parks and estates near Partick, such as West End Retail Park?
Yes, sites like West End Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Partick. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
We manage a building near Partick station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is Partick in your area?
Yes. We cover Partick, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
