What else we do in Kennoway
When to call us in Kennoway
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
If you look after a block within reach of Cameron Bridge station (1.6 miles south of Kennoway), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. For buildings near Kennoway, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
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.

Block-wide mastic in Kennoway
Kennoway is within about 3 miles of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Kennoway is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you own or manage units on a site such as Banbeath Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Kennoway, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Kennoway Old Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Kennoway is about 5 miles east of Glenrothes, in Fife. We send applicators to Kennoway for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Fife coverage takes in 132 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Dundee is covered too, around 18 miles from Kennoway.

If your building is just outside Kennoway, we cover Baintown (1 mile south-east), Bonnybank (1 mile north-east), Windygates (1 mile south), Methil (2 miles south-east) and Leven (2 miles south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Kirkcaldy (8 miles south-west), Glenrothes (5 miles west), St Andrews (13 miles north-east), Cowdenbeath (14 miles south-west), Dysart (7 miles south-west) and Cupar (7 miles north).

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Banbeath Industrial Estate, close to Kennoway?
Yes. We cover Kennoway and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Banbeath Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our building in Kennoway is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Log resealing dates block by block
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
