Mastic sealing in Woodilee Village, done properly
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and water getting in round frames after rain. For commercial sealant work in Woodilee Village, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Woodilee Village, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Woodilee Village, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Woodilee Village is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send your site hours and access windows

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Woodilee Village
Being in the west of Scotland, Woodilee Village gets more rain than eastern areas. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.

If you look after a block within reach of Lenzie station, 0.9 miles to the south-west of Woodilee Village, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Your questions answered
Is Woodilee Village too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Woodilee Industrial Estate, by Woodilee Village?
Yes, sites like Woodilee Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Woodilee Village. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
