Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
Facade sealing in Kinnesswood, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Kinnesswood ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kinnesswood is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site around Kinnesswood, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
Do you need facade sealing in Kinnesswood?
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Water coming in around window frames
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Sites around Kinnesswood get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done

Advice
Kinnesswood: questions and answers
Is Kinnesswood off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Would you work within a site like Glenrothes Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
