Common questions from Kinross clients
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Kinross?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Which documents can you supply for work in Kinross?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you need mastic sealing in Kinross?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Failed external movement joints
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- No planned programme for sealant
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For a school such as Kinross High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Mastic sealing around Kinross: what changes locally
Being in the east of Scotland, Kinross gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Programmes allow for that
Older community buildings, St Paul's Episcopal Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Kinross, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
