Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Craigie
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and failed external movement joints, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. For commercial sealant work in Craigie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Craigie is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Craigie: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Craigie outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Kilmarnock station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.

Other services in Craigie
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Craigie. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
For owners and agents in Craigie
Being in the west of Scotland, Craigie gets more rain than eastern areas. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days.
For agents with blocks near Kilmarnock station, 3.7 miles north of Craigie, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Craigie Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Older buildings near Craigie, from historic houses such as Carnell Estate (2.5 miles east of Craigie) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
