Building owners, agents and FMs in Turnberry
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Turnberry can form part of a wider programme across South Ayrshire.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Turnberry
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is occupiers reporting cold air round windows and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Turnberry it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like Turnberry, 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 covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
When to call us in Turnberry
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For agents with blocks near Girvan station, 4.4 miles to the south of Turnberry, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Questions about Turnberry
Does the sea air around Turnberry change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Turnberry too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
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 long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, 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 mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Planned mastic for Turnberry portfolios
Turnberry lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. Turnberry is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
Around Turnberry, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.

What else we do in Turnberry
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Turnberry, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Getting a fixed quote
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Around smaller places like Turnberry, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
