Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Mastic sealing in Scotstounhill
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Scotstounhill carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. For commercial sealant work in Scotstounhill, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Scotland’s city blocks are largely sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite, and replacement windows set into those walls need a perimeter sealant that won’t mark the stone.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Questions we’re asked in Scotstounhill
How do tenement owners in Scotstounhill get shared-part mastic done?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Is Knightswood Shopping Centre, near Scotstounhill, within your area?
Yes. We cover Scotstounhill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Knightswood Shopping Centre. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
When to call us in Scotstounhill
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Failed external movement joints
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Damp patches beside frames
For a school such as Jordanhill College, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their public liability cover
- How joint depth will be controlled
What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: 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.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
