About our construction mastic in Ardrishaig
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can normally carry on while the outside waits. If you have early adhesion failures on new external joints and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, we can help, on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Ardrishaig is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites near smaller places like Ardrishaig can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Commercial clients in Ardrishaig
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Ardrishaig can form part of a wider programme across Argyll and Bute.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Sites and facades in and around Ardrishaig
Ardrishaig is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Ardrishaig. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Argyll Arms Hotel, less than half a mile east of Ardrishaig, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New wings at hospitals like The Argyll and Bute Hospital (to the north-east of Ardrishaig) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as Lochgilphead High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Questions we are asked in Ardrishaig
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Argyll and Bute Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Our building in Ardrishaig is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do you work with the site programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is settled with your site team and adjusted as things change.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions

On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Ardrishaig is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- 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.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
