Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Kirkton of Craig affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will you take on work at estates like Broomfield Industrial Estate, close to Kirkton of Craig?
Yes, sites like Broomfield Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Kirkton of Craig. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
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.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Mastic sealing in Kirkton of Craig, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are complaints coming in block by block and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kirkton of Craig is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Kirkton of Craig, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Kirkton of Craig
Mastic sealing in Kirkton of Craig: the local picture
Kirkton of Craig is within about 2 miles of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Kirkton of Craig is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Programmes allow for that
If you own or manage units on a site such as Broomfield Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles north of Kirkton of Craig, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Older community buildings, Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as Montrose Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Kirkton of Craig, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Commercial clients in Kirkton of Craig
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
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. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
General trades versus a specialist
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
