Kirkton: questions and answers
Is Kirkton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Houstoun Interchange Business Park, near Kirkton?
Yes. Our area takes in Kirkton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Houstoun Interchange Business Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
About our mastic sealing in Kirkton
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and worn sealant at communal door frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kirkton? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around Kirkton, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Kirkton as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Work for main contractors and building owners

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Common problems we fix in Kirkton
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Damp patches beside frames
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
If you are responsible for a building such as St Andrew's Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs near Kirkton are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
