Need mastic sealing in Kinfauns?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Mastic sealing in Kinfauns
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, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about worn sealant at communal door frames and draughts at frames across a block, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms.

Why act early in Kinfauns
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Kinfauns before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints

- Window and door perimeters on blocks
What we are called out for in Kinfauns
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Complaints coming in block by block
Around Kinfauns, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Questions we’re asked in Kinfauns
Is a smaller place like Kinfauns outside your area?
No. Places such as Kinfauns are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Perth station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
