Why act early in The Murray
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like The Murray, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Mastic sealing in The Murray, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you have damp patches beside frames and no planned programme for sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from The Murray 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.
Travel to smaller places like The Murray is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in The Murray as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Commercial clients in The Murray
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Looking after buildings in and around The Murray
The Murray is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days. The Murray has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as East Kilbride station (to the north of The Murray) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If your remit includes a building such as St Andrew's and St Bride's High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. For owners of several units at places like Scottish Enterprise Technology Park (Birniehill) (0.7 miles east of The Murray), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
The Murray is about 1 mile east of East Kilbride, in South Lanarkshire. Any commercial site in The Murray is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. The Murray is one of 134 places in South Lanarkshire on our list. There’s a separate page for Glasgow, about 8 miles away.

Questions about The Murray
Is The Murray too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work in occupied care homes around The Murray?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
