Commercial mastic work in Ardtun
On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. If you have shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ardtun it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
The most common commercial job in Ardtun is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Ardtun: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, so we’ll flag it if the detail needs a different product.
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, in a shade that suits the frame.
Common questions from Ardtun clients
Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Ardtun?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
Is Ardtun off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and we will confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
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, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardtun
Reactive resealing, a leak at a time, tends to cost more overall than a plan. A planned programme groups work by building or area, cuts repeat visits and gives you a budget figure. We’ll suggest an order, worst sealant joints first. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ardtun. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Commercial premises in Ardtun
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ardtun. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The west of Scotland, where Ardtun is, gets more rain than the east. Outside sealing needs dry spells and a programme that can move a little. Weather-facing frames tend to need resealing before the sheltered ones
Where a joint is on show in Ardtun, we’ll check which shades the product offers before work starts. Whatever the building in Ardtun, commercial sealant work starts with cutting out the failed bead and cleaning the joint back to sound material.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Report cracked or peeling sealant early
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year normally mean more next year. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
