Questions from Langside
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Langside usually arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you work for landlords with property near Pollokshaws East station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What guarantee comes with the job?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you reach high gutters?
It depends on the access. Tell us the height and what’s around the gutter when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.

Walls and rooflines in Langside
Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that will not stain or attack it. Harled (roughcast) walls are common in Scotland, and where harling meets frames, pipes and other materials, the joint needs a flexible sealant that grips a rough surface.
If you live in an older home near South Shawlands Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. If you let a flat or house near Pollokshaws East station, leaking gutter joints on a rental are best caught before they stain the walls.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Rest ladders on the wall, not the gutter
- Watch the wall under the gutters for staining
- Deal with a drip before winter
Keep the gutters clear of leaves and moss so water doesn’t sit on the joints. Standing water strains every seal.
Split sealant on fascias and trims lets water in behind. Resealing early protects the boards and the wall below.

Do you need gutter sealing in Langside?
Sagging sections pull joints apart. Sealing will not hold if the gutter keeps dropping so the brackets need attention first.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp on an inside wall under a dripping gutter
- Trim joints where the sealant has failed
- Water dripping where gutter sections meet
- Old gutter sealant that has let go
If you look after a building such as Shawlands Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on the number of joints and the access for a typical job. Parking in city streets around Langside can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We look at where the water is coming from and check the gutter isn’t broken or sagging.
- Old sealant and dirt are removed from the joint.
- The area is dried so the sealant can bond.
- Gutter or exterior sealant is applied and finished.
- We look along the gutter and clear debris around the joints.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Langside
Water from a leaking joint hits the same spot every time. Over time that can stain brickwork, mark render and encourage damp so early sealing is worthwhile. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
