Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Rubislaw
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is a mix of products and colours from past repairs and no planned programme for sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Rubislaw? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Housing associations and councils in Scotland’s cities manage large estates of flats and maisonettes. A planned programme deals with failed mastic across an estate, block by block.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.

- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you

External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Questions about Rubislaw
Can work in a care setting near Rubislaw go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Rubislaw, such as Whitemyres Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Whitemyres Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Rubislaw. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
When to call us in Rubislaw

- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- No planned programme for sealant
For a school such as Albyn School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
