Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked, and that time depends on the product, temperature and joint depth.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That typically means redoing finishes in a completed area and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Construction mastic in Kilmory
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we are called in for most is existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kilmory, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
External sealing around Kilmory depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: Kilmory
Does a coastal location like Kilmory affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is Kilmory too far out for you?
Not at all. Kilmory is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready, and we will raise anything that holds the work up.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
New build and refits around Kilmory
Kilmory sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Kilmory is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
For contractors building in or near Kilmory, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. For a contractor at a hotel such as Lagg Hotel, under half a mile west of Kilmory, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kilmory is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
