How we handle mastic sealing in Kirkton of Skene
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve open joints in brickwork or panels and leaks at window and door perimeters, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kirkton of Skene first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Kirkton of Skene, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the job changes by surface
External movement joints

Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs near Kirkton of Skene are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkton of Skene
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Kirkton of Skene. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Kirkton of Skene: questions and answers
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Kirkton of Skene?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Westhill Industrial Estate, close to Kirkton of Skene?
Yes, sites like Westhill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Kirkton of Skene. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
