Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
How we handle mastic sealing in Springfield
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are movement joints with sealant missing and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Springfield is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Springfield is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The total length or number of joints
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Springfield is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Questions about Springfield
Can you work at a site such as Cupar Muir Industrial Estate, by Springfield?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Springfield, Cupar Muir Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Springfield off your patch?
Not at all. Springfield is within our area. 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.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 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.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Springfield, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- CHAS accredited
- Colour options checked against the specified product
