Mastic sealing in Crookedholm, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about communal area joints that look neglected and leaks at window and door perimeters, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Crookedholm first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around Crookedholm, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Block-wide mastic in Crookedholm
Crookedholm is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Mayfield Industrial Estate (1 mile east of Crookedholm), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Older community buildings, Hurlford Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For agents with blocks near Kilmarnock station, 1.5 miles to the west of Crookedholm, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Questions about Crookedholm
We manage a building near Kilmarnock station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Crookedholm too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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.
Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
