How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Jobs near Ardchonnell are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.

How we handle construction mastic in Ardchonnell
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Ardchonnell, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. We work on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we are called in for most is sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ardchonnell, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site around Ardchonnell, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Work we carry out in Argyll and Bute comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Construction mastic around Ardchonnell: points for this area
Projects in Ardchonnell follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. Being in the west of Scotland, Ardchonnell gets more rain than eastern areas. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
Sites around Ardchonnell get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. A facade joint near Ardchonnell lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.

What else we do in Ardchonnell
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
Questions we’re asked in Ardchonnell
Can the mastic package for our job in Ardchonnell follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Ardchonnell?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
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. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready, and we’ll raise anything that holds the work up.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification, which avoids last-minute problems. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Ardchonnell, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
