Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Around smaller places like Kirkmichael, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Mastic sealing in Kirkmichael
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, across external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Most enquiries from Kirkmichael start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Kirkmichael, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Questions about Kirkmichael
Can you quote for a block close to Maybole station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Kirkmichael?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
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.

Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
