How we handle construction mastic in An Luirg
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. Site teams most often ask us about early adhesion failures on new external joints and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in An Luirg, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
External sealing around An Luirg depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
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.

Why act early in An Luirg
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. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple, with the same standard on every plot. Around smaller places like An Luirg, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Doing it in-house
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

An Luirg: questions and answers
Is Lairg Industrial Estate, near An Luirg, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around An Luirg, Lairg Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like An Luirg outside your area?
No. Places such as An Luirg are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs near An Luirg are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
