Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Facade sealing in Kennoway, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. We’ll tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you are dealing with hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and previous reseals run over old sealant, we can help, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kennoway, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites near smaller places like Kennoway 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Kennoway as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Facades, frames and programmes in Kennoway
Kennoway lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The east of Scotland, where Kennoway is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
On a healthcare site such as Cameron Hospital, 1.8 miles to the south of Kennoway, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Projects at schools like Kirkland High School and Community College work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Further education sites such as Fife College - Levenmouth Campus (2.2 miles south of Kennoway) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Kennoway is about 5 miles east of Glenrothes, in Fife. Any commercial site in Kennoway is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 132 places in Fife. Dundee is covered too, some 18 miles away.

What’s near Kennoway

Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. For buildings near Kennoway, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Questions about Kennoway
Is Kennoway too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Banbeath Industrial Estate, near Kennoway, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kennoway, Banbeath Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
