How we handle mastic sealing in Yoker
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you’re dealing with movement joints with sealant missing and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Yoker? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sandstone tenements in most Scottish cities, and granite in Aberdeen, need mastic that suits the stone, so perimeter mastic around replacement windows has to be neutral-cure and kind to the masonry.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For premises in Yoker, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Agree which areas must stay open

Yoker: questions and answers
We manage a building near Yoker station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How do tenement owners in Yoker get shared-part mastic done?
Normally the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is Yoker in your area?
Yes. Yoker is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. You can also send details through our quote form.
Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Why appoint us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- CHAS accredited
