About our construction mastic in Aywick
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list and clearing them late eats into the handover window. We seal so the snag list stays short. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are new external sealant already peeling away and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. For commercial sealant work in Aywick, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Aywick, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common questions from Aywick clients
Can you keep pace with our programme in Aywick?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Aywick change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them, working to your handover date.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Mastic packages on Aywick sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Aywick. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Aywick is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
For contractors building in or near Aywick, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Aywick is in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Aywick can call on us for mastic packages. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, Aywick among them.
Postcode districts covered here: ZE2. If your building is just outside Aywick, we cover Mid Yell (3 miles north), Camb (4 miles north), Burravoe (4 miles south), Houbie (6 miles north-east) and Mossbank (9 miles south-west). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.

For a walk, there’s Loch of Quheyin and White Hill of Vatsetter.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs near Aywick are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote

- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Aywick, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

When to call us in Aywick
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
Older buildings in the area around Aywick, such as Windhouse, 4.2 miles to the north-west of Aywick, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
