Advice
About our mastic sealing in Irvine
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. If you have open joints in brickwork or panels and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Irvine tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners with several buildings in a town like Irvine can group mastic work into one programme. Residents are kept informed through the factor or landlord as work moves between buildings.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. In Irvine, rain and frost work into any failed joint, and the damage spreads from there. Catch it early and it stays a sealant job.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Mastic sealing in Irvine: the local picture
Irvine is within about 2 miles of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Irvine gets more rain than eastern areas. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Irvine station (1.2 miles south-west of Irvine) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Historic properties like Montgreenan (to the north of Irvine) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Irvine is about 22 miles south-west of Glasgow, in North Ayrshire. Anywhere in KA11, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 54 places across North Ayrshire fall within our area, Irvine among them. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page.
We take on mastic joints across the KA11 and KA12 postcode area, whatever the building. Among the streets we cover are Tamerlane Square, Allan Square and High Street, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Main routes into Irvine include the A71 and A78. We also cover Girdle Toll (1 mile west), Broomlands (1 mile south-east), Bourtreehill (1 mile east), Lands of Broomlands (1 mile south-east) and Fullarton (1 mile south-west). A short drive away, we cover Kilwinning (3 miles north-west), Saltcoats (5 miles west), Largs (15 miles north-west), Ardrossan (7 miles west), Stevenston (4 miles west) and Kilbirnie (9 miles north). As one of the bigger centres in North Ayrshire, Irvine has a broad mix of commercial, public and industrial buildings, and we cover them all.
What’s near Irvine
Recent enquiries here include premises near Irvine Royal Academy. Irvine’s nearest station is Irvine station, roughly 1.2 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include The Vennel Gallery (0.7 miles south-west) and Ayrshire Central Hospital (1.3 miles north-west). Open spaces near Irvine include Stevenston Loch.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Irvine
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Landlords with units on estates such as Riverway Retail Park, 1.1 miles south-west of Irvine, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Irvine: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Riverway Retail Park, close to Irvine?
Yes. We cover Irvine and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Riverway Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does the sea air around Irvine change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
