What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. For buildings near Lugar, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

How we handle mastic sealing in Lugar
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. Most enquiries involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lugar it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around Lugar, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions we are asked in Lugar
Is Thistle Industrial Estate, near Lugar, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Lugar and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Thistle Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Lugar outside your area?
No. Places such as Lugar are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Lugar can sit alongside others in a wider programme across East Ayrshire.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the price in Lugar
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For work around Lugar, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
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.

Mastic sealing around Lugar: what changes locally
The west of Scotland, where Lugar is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Thistle Industrial Estate, 1.8 miles south-west of Lugar, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. For a school such as Robert Burns Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Historic properties like Dumfries House (3.2 miles west of Lugar) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Lugar is about 14 miles south-east of Kilmarnock, in East Ayrshire. Across the KA18 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.
