When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first

We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Woodside start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Woodside, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Woodside is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Woodside: questions and answers
What site paperwork comes with a job in Woodside?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Woodside too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Woodside is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
