Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Priesthill & Darnley station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can work in a care setting near Pollok go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
Looking after buildings in and around Pollok
The 2 miles around Pollok include two care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. Pollok is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
For agents with blocks near Priesthill & Darnley station, 0.9 miles south-east of Pollok, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Historic properties like Pollok House, 1.3 miles east of Pollok, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Landlords with units on estates such as South Nitshill Industrial Estate, 1 mile south of Pollok, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Failed sealant in a shared building in Pollok can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
