Why act early in Kirktown of Fetteresso
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Kirktown of Fetteresso before they leak.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Kirktown of Fetteresso
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kirktown of Fetteresso from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Kirktown of Fetteresso, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Looking after buildings in and around Kirktown of Fetteresso
With the shore within about 2 miles, Kirktown of Fetteresso counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Kirktown of Fetteresso is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Older community buildings, Fetteresso Old Parish Church And Graveyard among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For a school such as Mackie Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. If you own or manage units on a site such as Spurryhillock Industrial Estate, less than half a mile east of Kirktown of Fetteresso, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.

Is Kirktown of Fetteresso too far out for you?
No. Places such as Kirktown of Fetteresso are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
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 communal access is kept open.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Doing it in-house
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
