What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Salsburgh is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Looking after buildings in and around Salsburgh
Salsburgh is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Property owners at sites such as Newhouse Industrial Estate (to the west of Salsburgh) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Hartwood station, 2.6 miles south-east of Salsburgh, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Salsburgh is about 4 miles east of Airdrie, in North Lanarkshire. We cover Salsburgh, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across North Lanarkshire, 100 places are covered, Salsburgh among them. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area (16 miles or so).

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Do you need mastic sealing in Salsburgh?
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- No planned programme for sealant
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Kirk of Shotts are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their public liability cover
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
