About our mastic sealing in Kilmahog
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kilmahog is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Kilmahog, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

From enquiry to sign-off
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 Kilmahog are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
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.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Around smaller places like Kilmahog, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Kilmahog
Kilmahog is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you are responsible for a building such as St Andrew's Episcopal Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. If your remit includes a building such as McLaren High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Kilmahog: questions and answers
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Kilmahog?

Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
