Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
How we handle mastic sealing in Whitecross
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Whitecross carry our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about worn sealant at communal door frames and complaints coming in block by block, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Whitecross? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Whitecross, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Whitecross
Is Whitecross off your patch?
Not at all. Whitecross is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
We manage a building near Linlithgow station. Can you help?
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’ll quote and plan to suit.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
On site: what to expect
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs near Whitecross are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.

What we’re called out for in Whitecross
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
If you look after a block within reach of Linlithgow station (2.2 miles east of Whitecross), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

What else we do in Whitecross
What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows usually get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Whitecross before they leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
