Questions we’re asked in Knockentiber
Will you take on work at estates like Moorfield North Industrial Park, close to Knockentiber?
Yes. Our area takes in Knockentiber and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Moorfield North Industrial Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Knockentiber too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Knockentiber are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
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.
How we handle mastic sealing in Knockentiber
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and window mastic that has split and shrunk. For commercial sealant work in Knockentiber, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Travel to smaller places like Knockentiber is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Knockentiber
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Failed external movement joints
Site managers at schools like Grange Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Comparing quotes
