What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Planned mastic for Tillietudlem portfolios
Tillietudlem is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Crossford Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Buildings close to stations like Carluke station (to the north-east of Tillietudlem) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Tillietudlem is about 3 miles south-west of Carluke, in South Lanarkshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

Questions we’re asked in Tillietudlem
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Tillietudlem?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Tillietudlem too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What paperwork can you provide?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Tillietudlem are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.

Common problems we fix in Tillietudlem
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Historic properties like Cambusnethan House (to the north-west of Tillietudlem) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Why it’s worth doing now in Tillietudlem
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Tillietudlem, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
