For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kames can form part of a wider programme.
How we handle facade sealing in Kames
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. If you have unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Kames, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Sites near smaller places like Kames can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we’re called out for in Kames
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Window perimeters and facade joints around Kames need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.

Mastic packages on Kames sites
In Kames, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Being in the west of Scotland, Kames gets more rain than eastern areas. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
Sites around Kames get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Kames is about 16 miles south of Larkhall, in East Ayrshire. We cover Kames and the rest of East Ayrshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Kames is one of 56 places we cover in East Ayrshire. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area, about 25 miles away.
We cover the KA18 postcode districts for facade joints. We also cover Muirkirk (1 mile north), Smallburn (1 mile west), Cronberry (6 miles south-west), Glespin (7 miles east) and Lugar (7 miles south-west).

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints

FAQs: Kames
Is a smaller place like Kames outside your area?
Not at all. Kames is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the mastic package for our job in Kames follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
