Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Craigens
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Craigens carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. For commercial sealant work in Craigens, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Craigens, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We normally work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Craigens: questions and answers
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Auchinleck station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you work at a site such as Thistle Industrial Estate, by Craigens?
Yes. Our area takes in Craigens and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Thistle Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
For owners and agents in Craigens
The west of Scotland, where Craigens is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you look after a block within reach of Auchinleck station, 2.9 miles north-west of Craigens, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Older community buildings, Church of St. John among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Historic properties like Dumfries House, 2.9 miles west of Craigens, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Craigens is about 15 miles east of Prestwick, in East Ayrshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Craigens use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of East Ayrshire. 56 places across East Ayrshire fall within our area, including Craigens. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page (29 miles or so).
Business premises anywhere in KA18 are within our area. Buildings on Cairnscadden Road, Avisyard Avenue and Craigens Road are within our area for mastic joints. If your building is just outside Craigens, we cover Netherthird (1 mile west), Cumnock (1 mile north-west), Logan (1 mile north), Lugar (2 miles north) and The Rigg (2 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Kilmarnock (15 miles north-west), Galston (12 miles north-west), Mauchline (7 miles north-west), New Farm Loch (15 miles north-west), Darvel (12 miles north) and Newmilns (12 miles north).
Local landmarks in Craigens
For rail, the closest station is Auchinleck station, about 2.9 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Borland Castle (0.8 miles south) and Heritage Centre Cumnock (0.7 miles west). For a walk, there’s Airds Moss RSPB Reserve and Black Loch.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. For buildings near Craigens, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
