Common questions from Roughmussel clients
How do tenement owners in Roughmussel get shared-part mastic done?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Will you work in a care home in Roughmussel without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Roughmussel
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Whoever orders the work in Roughmussel, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In Scotland’s cities, housing associations look after blocks and estates of every age. A planned programme deals with failed mastic across an estate, block by block, with residents given notice through the landlord.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
When to call us in Roughmussel
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- No planned programme for sealant
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Schools and community buildings such as St. Paul's High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Roughmussel, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. In Roughmussel, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
