Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
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.
About our construction mastic in Allanton
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new external sealant already peeling away and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Allanton from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Sites near smaller places like Allanton can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

FAQs: Allanton
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cleland Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is a smaller place like Allanton outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility. Around smaller places like Allanton, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

When to call us in Allanton
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Look out for the following:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
Extensions at sites like Cleland Hospital, 2.8 miles west of Allanton, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Projects in Allanton follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. The east of Scotland, where Allanton is, gets less rain than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
