Mastic sealing in Rigside, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve old repairs sealed over failed mastic and no planned programme for sealant, across communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Rigside? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller Scottish places like Rigside, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Rigside is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Common questions from Rigside clients
Is a smaller place like Rigside outside your area?
No. Places such as Rigside are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Rigside?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
