Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

New build and refits around Ackergillshore
Ackergillshore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Building work in Ackergillshore comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Units on estates such as Lochshell Business Park (to the south of Ackergillshore) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. On a healthcare site such as Caithness General Hospital (2.2 miles south of Ackergillshore), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When a school such as Wick High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

Common questions from Ackergillshore clients
Does your area include sites such as Lochshell Business Park, near Ackergillshore?
Yes, sites like Lochshell Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Ackergillshore. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Ackergillshore too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Ackergillshore are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Ackergillshore
- Sanitary and kitchen joints

What else we do in Ackergillshore
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ackergillshore before they leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
