Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For work around Riverside, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn.

Riverside: questions and answers
We manage a building near Stirling station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Riverside, such as Phoenix Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Riverside and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Phoenix Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

Cost factors for mastic joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Block-wide mastic in Riverside
There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Riverside. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home. Riverside is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty.
For owners of several units at places like Phoenix Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles to the south of Riverside, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Stirling, which lies north of Riverside, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. If your remit includes a building such as Wallace High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Riverside is about 1 mile north-east of Stirling, in Stirling. Looking for mastic sealing in Riverside? We can help. Across Stirling, 52 places are covered, Riverside among them. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area (23 miles or so).

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Surface by surface
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.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. For buildings near Riverside, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
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 you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
