Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Kilmaurs, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Facade sealing in Kilmaurs
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and water coming in around window frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kilmaurs is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Kilmaurs that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal without guesswork.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Kilmaurs before they leak.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Signs you need facade sealing in Kilmaurs
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Projects at colleges like Ayrshire College - Kilmarnock Campus, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Kilmaurs, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
What to look for in a quote

Facades, frames and programmes in Kilmaurs

The mastic package follows the approved specification. Being in the west of Scotland, Kilmaurs gets more rain than eastern areas. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.

Kilmaurs: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Kilmaurs outside your area?
Not at all. Kilmaurs is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Bonnyton Industrial Estate, near Kilmaurs?
Yes. We cover Kilmaurs and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bonnyton Industrial Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
