What we’re called out for in Tannochside
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Look out for the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Schools and community buildings such as Uddingston Grammar School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
About our mastic sealing in Tannochside
For blocks and buildings in Tannochside and across North Lanarkshire, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Tannochside 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.
For buildings around Tannochside, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Mastic sealing in Tannochside: the local picture
The west of Scotland, where Tannochside is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days. There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Tannochside. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
Property owners at sites such as Birkenshaw Trading Estate (0.7 miles north-west of Tannochside) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Buildings close to stations like Uddingston station, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Tannochside, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Tannochside is about 1 mile north of Uddingston, in North Lanarkshire. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Tannochside, we can help, as we do across North Lanarkshire.

Questions about Tannochside
We manage a building near Uddingston station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you take on work at estates like Birkenshaw Trading Estate, close to Tannochside?
Yes, sites like Birkenshaw Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Tannochside. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
