About our mastic sealing in Kemnay
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you have complaints coming in block by block and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kemnay first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Kemnay is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints

Common questions from Kemnay clients
Is Kemnay off your patch?
No. Places such as Kemnay are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Kintore station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and spreads the work.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
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. Resealing early keeps the job small.
