How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?

Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Westruther
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and failed external movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Westruther, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Westruther is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Westruther as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. For buildings near Westruther, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Westruther with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
