Mastic sealing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse, done properly
Across Kirkton of Auchterhouse and the rest of Angus, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and window mastic that has split and shrunk, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Most enquiries from Kirkton of Auchterhouse start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Kirkton of Auchterhouse, 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.

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions we’re asked in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Will you price a mastic programme across our Kirkton of Auchterhouse portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Kirkton of Auchterhouse outside your area?
No. Places such as Kirkton of Auchterhouse are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
