Construction mastic in An Tairbeart
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you are dealing with frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in An Tairbeart, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like An Tairbeart can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Argyll and Bute. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around An Tairbeart before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead.

For a contractor at a hotel such as Tarbet Hotel, under half a mile south-west of An Tairbeart, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors building in or near An Tairbeart, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Questions about An Tairbeart
Can the mastic package for our job in An Tairbeart follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is An Tairbeart too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
