Our construction mastic service in Fife

On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Site teams most often ask us about a long mastic snag list close to completion and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.

Construction mastic across Fife: the area picture

From Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes to smaller places across Fife, main contractors and developers need mastic packages for new build and refurbishment. We seal perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification, on programme.

Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so mastic work on shared parts may come through the factor. Along the coast in Fife, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, so work is often best planned for quieter months.

Dunfermline: For a contractor at a hotel such as Garvock House Hotel, less than half a mile to the north-west of Dunfermline, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Further education sites such as Fife College - Halbeath Campus, 1.2 miles north-east of Dunfermline, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Common problems we fix in Fife

A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing

Owners, agents and contractors

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.

Different surfaces, different methods

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent.

Snagging before handover

The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

What sets the cost

These are the things that shape the price:

Distance, for remote addresses
How much existing material needs removing
Working within restricted access windows
Backing rod, priming and other preparation

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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 need to price the job

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

The type of building and who uses it
How the joints are reached, and at what height
When you need the work done
The postcode of the building

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.

Your questions answered

Are you CHAS accredited?

We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.

What joints do you seal on a new build?

External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging.

How long does a job like this take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

Is colour matching possible?

It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.

When can you be on site?

We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.

Can you quote from photographs?

Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.

Who decides which product is used?

A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
