Mastic sealing in Kinnesswood, done properly
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and no planned programme for sealant. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kinnesswood from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Kinnesswood, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Around Kinnesswood, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Easter Balgedie church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Questions we are asked in Kinnesswood
Is a smaller place like Kinnesswood outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Kinnesswood?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Kinnesswood
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
