Mastic sealing in Kippen, done properly
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 and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Kippen, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Kippen, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Kippen
Do you need mastic sealing in Kippen?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Around Kippen, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
What to look for in a quote
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Why it’s worth doing now in Kippen
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Kippen before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Common questions from Kippen clients
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Kippen?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Kippen?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
