Our construction mastic service in Perth and Kinross

Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we are asked to look at most are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work.

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and we clear our waste as we work.

We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
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.

What you’ll pay

Construction mastic across Perth and Kinross: the area picture

Our CSCS-carded applicators work on sites across Perth and Kinross, from Perth, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff to smaller schemes. Send drawings, the programme and your paperwork requirements, and we will confirm everything with the quote.

Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, Perth and Kinross among them. Longer journeys are planned so each job is done in one go if at all possible. Parts of Perth and Kinross lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Perth: For a contractor working at a hospital such as Perth Royal Infirmary, which lies south-west of Perth, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. New units and refits on sites such as St Catherine's Retail Park (less than half a mile east of Perth) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Perth and Kinross

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Perth and Kinross. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Should maintenance staff do it?

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

After the work

Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:

Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
Note which sealant went where at handover

Any damage after we have finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.

Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

When something else is needed

Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:

Frames fitted out of tolerance
Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Faulty frames rather than failed sealant

Why it fails

Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

A long mastic snag list close to completion
Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing

Questions about Perth and Kinross

Do you offer coloured sealant?

In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?

Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

When can the area be used after sealing?

That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

Do you cover Perth and Kinross?

Yes. Sites across Perth and Kinross are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
