Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
Construction mastic in Aviemore, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. We work on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Aviemore, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Aviemore, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Facades, frames and programmes in Aviemore
The east of Scotland, where Aviemore is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Aviemore warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as MacDonald Aviemore Hotel, 0.8 miles south of Aviemore, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Units on estates such as Cairngorm Technology Park (less than half a mile east of Aviemore) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital, less than half a mile to the south-east of Aviemore, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Aviemore is about 24 miles south-east of Inverness, in Highland. Commercial clients in Aviemore use us for work on mastic packages. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Aviemore among them. We also cover Dundee, around 60 miles from Aviemore.
Business premises anywhere in PH22 are within our area for mastic packages. If your site is on Burnside Avenue, Craigellachie Crescent and Burnside Road or close by, we can quote for mastic packages. Aviemore sits on or close to the A9 and B970, useful when we plan access and materials. Just outside Aviemore, we also work in Badenoch (1 mile south), Coylumbridge (2 miles south-east), Boat of Garten (4 miles north-east), Carrbridge (6 miles north) and Kincraig (6 miles south-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Grantown-on-Spey (12 miles north-east), Kingussie (12 miles south-west) and Newtonmore (15 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.

What else we do in Aviemore
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean so keep them off the joints.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Quoting for work in Aviemore
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Questions we are asked in Aviemore
Is a smaller place like Aviemore outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
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.
