What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Construction mastic in A' Chrìon Làraich, done properly
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in A' Chrìon Làraich is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a site around A' Chrìon Làraich, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs near A' Chrìon Làraich are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Put any product change through the designer first
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
Quoting for work in A' Chrìon Làraich
Before we quote, we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
What happens if it’s left?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects and external joints are where it shows first. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like A' Chrìon Làraich, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

FAQs: A' Chrìon Làraich
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in A' Chrìon Làraich?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like A' Chrìon Làraich outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What does a mastic package normally include?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
