Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Sinclairston
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts at frames across a block, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Sinclairston start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Sinclairston is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Sinclairston as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What else we do in Sinclairston
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Sinclairston are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.

Advice
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Log resealing dates block by block
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Looking after buildings in and around Sinclairston
Sinclairston is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Historic properties like Dumfries House (to the north-east of Sinclairston) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Around Sinclairston, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Common questions from Sinclairston clients
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Sinclairston?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Sinclairston too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
