Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Waterside with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows

Mastic sealing in Waterside
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and water getting in round frames after rain. Whoever orders the work in Waterside, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Waterside is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Stewarton station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is Waterside too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
