Your questions answered
Is Kingennie off your patch?
No. Places such as Kingennie are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, near Kingennie, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Kingennie and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Mastic sealing in Kingennie, done properly
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and old repairs sealed over failed mastic. Whoever orders the work in Kingennie, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Kingennie is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

For owners and agents in Kingennie
The east of Scotland, where Kingennie is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Site managers at schools like Monifieth High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you look after a block within reach of Monifieth station, which lies south-east of Kingennie, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Kingennie is about 3 miles north of Broughty Ferry, in Angus. Across the DD5 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Angus, 65 places are covered, including Kingennie. For work in that direction, see our Dundee page (6 miles or so).
Commercial sites across DD5 are covered. For a building on Osprey Place, Forbes of Kingennie Drive and Heron Place or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic joints.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Kingennie. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Kingennie
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Landlords with units on estates such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Kingennie) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Around smaller places like Kingennie, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
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.
