Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Mastic sealing in Kirktown
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you are dealing with mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Kirktown tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Kirktown, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from Kirktown clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Kirktown portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Kirktown too far out for you?
No. Places such as Kirktown are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building near Kirktown, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

For owners and agents in Kirktown
Kirktown 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. Kirktown is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you’re responsible for a building such as St Fergus Parish Church and Churchyard, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
