What the job involves on each surface
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.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Knockentiber
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Knockentiber. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Most enquiries involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Knockentiber? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Knockentiber that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Sites and facades in and around Knockentiber
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Knockentiber warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The west of Scotland, where Knockentiber is, gets more rain than the east. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Units on estates such as Moorfield North Industrial Park (to the south of Knockentiber) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Historic houses such as Girgenti House (to the north-west of Knockentiber) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Knockentiber: questions and answers
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Ayrshire College - Kilmarnock Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like University Hospital Crosshouse?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Knockentiber
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Knockentiber, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building near Knockentiber, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we review photos, 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Common problems we fix in Knockentiber
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
School extensions, at buildings such as Grange Academy, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
