Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
About our mastic sealing in Strathblane
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you have draught complaints from residents or tenants and water getting in round frames after rain, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Strathblane tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Strathblane is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Strathblane before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Questions about Strathblane
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Strathblane?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Strathblane off your patch?
No. Places such as Strathblane are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
