Mastic sealing across Kirkhill
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Common problems we fix in Kirkhill
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Look out for the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Complaints coming in block by block
Older community buildings, Wardlaw Parish Church of Scotland among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
About our mastic sealing in Kirkhill
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Kirkhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Kirkhill is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Tomich Industrial Estate, by Kirkhill?
Yes, sites like Tomich Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Kirkhill. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Kirkhill outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
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.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
