About our mastic sealing in Doonfoot
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and failed external movement joints, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Doonfoot is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Doonfoot, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Why it’s worth doing now in Doonfoot
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. For buildings near Doonfoot, 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: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, 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 we move to the next. Jobs near Doonfoot are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

For owners and agents in Doonfoot
Doonfoot lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Doonfoot. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Trustees of buildings like Alloway Kirk can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you look after a block within reach of Ayr station, 1.9 miles north-east of Doonfoot, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of the West of Scotland - Ayr Campus (2.3 miles north-east of Doonfoot), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.

Common questions from Doonfoot clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Ayr station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you work in a care home near Doonfoot with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- The product your specification calls for
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
