Questions we are asked in Kildary
Can you quote for a block close to Fearn station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Kildary too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How we handle mastic sealing in Kildary
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Site teams most often ask us about the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kildary first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller Scottish places like Kildary, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Kildary, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Common problems we fix in Kildary
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damp patches beside frames
- Failed external movement joints
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Kildary
With the shore within about 2 miles, Kildary counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. Kildary is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
If you look after a block within reach of Fearn station, which lies north-east of Kildary, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
