Construction mastic in An Druim Beag, done properly
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in An Druim Beag, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. Site teams most often ask us about inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in An Druim Beag tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as An Druim Beag, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Cost factors for mastic packages
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Note which sealant went where at handover
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Where we can, we combine work around An Druim Beag with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Questions about An Druim Beag
Can being near the sea in An Druim Beag affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you keep pace with our programme in An Druim Beag?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you fit around our programme?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them so sealing follows the trades.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.

We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.

What happens if it’s left?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around An Druim Beag before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)

- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
