Mastic sealing in Viewpark, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Most enquiries from Viewpark 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.
Around smaller places such as Viewpark, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions we are asked in Viewpark
Can you work in a care home near Viewpark with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Can you work at a site such as Righead Industrial Estate, by Viewpark?
Yes, sites like Righead Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Viewpark. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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.

The west of Scotland, where Viewpark is, gets more rain than the east. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates. Viewpark has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
Buildings close to stations like Uddingston station (to the west of Viewpark) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Older community buildings, Old Monkland Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Common problems we fix in Viewpark
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If your remit includes a building such as Cardinal Newman High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Viewpark is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
