Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Mastic sealing around Kingsbarns: what changes locally
Kingsbarns lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Kingsbarns is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. We plan block programmes with some give for it
If you are responsible for a building such as Kingsbarns church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Owners near Kingsbarns can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.

FAQs: Kingsbarns
Is Kingsbarns too far out for you?
Not at all. Kingsbarns is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does the sea air around Kingsbarns change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
