How we handle mastic sealing in Kinellar
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Kinellar it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Kinellar is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

Do you need mastic sealing in Kinellar?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Buildings close to stations like Kintore station, 2.8 miles to the north-west of Kinellar, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Track which buildings were done and when
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Kinellar, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
