How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

Construction mastic in Ardwell
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you are dealing with caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and mastic snags holding up handover, we can help, on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ardwell first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Ardwell, 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 covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Use the product the specification names
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We flag them as soon as we see them.

The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ardwell.

Around Ardwell, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation. On any site in or around Ardwell, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

FAQs: Ardwell
Our building in Ardwell is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Ardwell?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
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.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
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.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardwell
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Ardwell, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)

- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
