Mastic sealing in Temple, done properly
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. The enquiries we see most involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Temple tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sandstone tenements in most Scottish cities, and granite in Aberdeen, need mastic that suits the stone, and replacement windows set into those walls need a perimeter sealant that won’t mark the stone.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Temple
The 2 miles around Temple include seven care or nursing homes. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. Being in the west of Scotland, Temple gets more rain than eastern areas. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
If you are responsible for a building such as All Saints Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If you look after a block within reach of Anniesland station, under half a mile south-east of Temple, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For owners of several units at places like Anniesland Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north of Temple, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Temple is about 3 miles north-east of Renfrew, in Glasgow. Our applicators travel to Temple for work on mastic joints. Temple is one of 171 places in Glasgow on our list for mastic joints.
If you need mastic sealing in G13, G12 and G61, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Streets here include Fern Lane, Ilay Road and Ryvra Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Main routes into Temple include the A82, useful when we plan access and materials. If your building is just outside Temple, we cover Anniesland Cross (1 mile south), Anniesland (1 mile south-west), Netherton (1 mile north), Knightswood (1 mile west) and Kelvindale (1 mile east). A short drive away, we cover Glasgow (3 miles south-east), Garnethill (3 miles south-east), Anderston (3 miles south-east), Calton (5 miles south-east), Blythswood Hill (3 miles south-east) and Langside (5 miles south).

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Temple, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Common questions from Temple clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Temple, such as Anniesland Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Temple and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Anniesland Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Temple?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We’re happy to deal with the factor directly.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
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.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
