Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

Questions about Riccarton
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kirklandside Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Ayrshire College - Kilmarnock Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team, and we’ll raise anything that holds the work up.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you need construction mastic in Riccarton?
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
When units on a site such as Mayfield Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles to the north-east of Riccarton, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

What else we do in Riccarton
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Riccarton. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
