Our mastic sealing service in South Ayrshire

Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in South Ayrshire carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out.

In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts.

We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Quotes

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Around Ayr

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Railway Tavern, Wellington School and St Andrews Church, among other places. There’s a railway station in Ayr itself: Ayr station. Nearby you will also find Tam Oshanter Museum (0.5 miles north-west) and Seafield Children's Hospital (0.9 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Carcluie Loch.

For owners and agents in South Ayrshire

Portfolio owners and agents in South Ayrshire can bring buildings in places such as Ayr, Troon and Prestwick under one programme and one quote. We work to your notice and access plan, one building at a time.

Our area covers every Scottish council area, South Ayrshire included. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. Coastal places in South Ayrshire often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.

Ayr: Student accommodation around universities such as University of the West of Scotland - Ayr Campus, under half a mile north-east of Ayr, is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme. If your remit includes a building such as Belmont Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

What happens if it’s left?

Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right.

After the work

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:

Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Share your contractor requirements early
Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint

Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.

One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

When it isn’t the sealant

A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:

Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Misted or failed double-glazed units

For managing agents and facilities managers

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.

How the quote is worked out

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:

Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Travel to remote or island sites
Whether the work must be split into stages
How much there is to seal

Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Sending details for a quote

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

What the building is and how it’s used
The postcode of the building
Whether an asbestos survey exists
Clear photographs of the problem areas

To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.

Common questions from South Ayrshire clients

Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?

Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

Can you seal joints high up on a block?

We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.

How long will the new sealant last?

There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

What paperwork can you provide?

Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.

Does the weather affect the work?

For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Will you come and look before quoting?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
