Construction mastic in Inverclyde: how it works

Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility and gives you a consistent finish across the job. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are mastic snags holding up handover and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed.

When we get to site, 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 typically taking as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates.

Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.

Construction mastic across Inverclyde: the area picture

Our CSCS-carded applicators work on sites across Inverclyde, from Greenock, Port Glasgow and Gourock to smaller schemes. Send drawings, the programme and your paperwork requirements, and we will confirm everything with the quote.

Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. Parts of Inverclyde lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.

Greenock: Hospital estates such as Inverclyde Royal Hospital (1.4 miles west of Greenock) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. When a school such as Wellington Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

What sets the cost

To price the job, we consider:

How accessible the joints are
Which sealant the job calls for
Backing rod, priming and other preparation
How much existing material needs removing

The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Sending details for a quote

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

Any specification or named product
A wide shot and a close-up of the area
When you need the work done
Anything awkward about access or site hours

The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.

Should maintenance staff do it?

Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

Leave it or put it right?

Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem.

Signs you need construction mastic

On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.

Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:

Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
Early adhesion failures on new external joints
Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing

Work for main contractors and building owners

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

Questions we are asked in Inverclyde

How many days will you need on site?

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

Can you send site paperwork?

Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

What accreditations do you hold?

We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Public liability insurance is in place.

Can weather delay the job?

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. Inside work is seldom held up.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Will you come and look before quoting?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

Can you handle several sites?

Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
