Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs near Gatehead are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gatehead
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Gatehead before they leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Questions about Gatehead
Do you cover business parks and estates near Gatehead, such as Moorfield Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Moorfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Gatehead. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Kilmarnock station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Looking after buildings in and around Gatehead
The west of Scotland, where Gatehead is, gets more rain than the east. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days.
Site managers at schools like Grange Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Historic properties like Girgenti House (4.8 miles north of Gatehead) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Kilmarnock station (2.6 miles north-east of Gatehead) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
