Construction mastic for Banknock sites

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

How the quote is worked out

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • Any access equipment needed
  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Distance, for remote addresses

Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Before you send an enquiry

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • Your programme or deadline
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work

Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

About our construction mastic in Banknock

We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. If you’re dealing with oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Banknock, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

In smaller places such as Banknock, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.

We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

For managing agents and facilities managers

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

Do you need construction mastic in Banknock?

Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.

Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:

  • Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
  • Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
  • Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
  • External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing

For a contractor working at a hospital such as Kilsyth Victoria Cottage Hospital, which lies west of Banknock, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

  • Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?

Choosing a commercial sealant contractor

Common questions from Banknock clients

Is Banknock off your patch?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Do you cover business parks and estates near Banknock, such as Chattan Industrial Estate?

Yes, sites like Chattan Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Banknock. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

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

Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?

Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.

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.

Can the sealant be colour-matched?

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

How do we ask for a quote?

The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.

What we can’t put right

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
  • Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
  • Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)

If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Internal decorators’ caulk
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Floor and skirting junctions

What the job involves on each surface

External facade and movement joints

Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.

Kitchens and utility areas

Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.

Building and refurbishing in Banknock

Banknock is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Banknock warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.

New units and refits on sites such as Chattan Industrial Estate, 3 miles to the east of Banknock, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Work at a hotel such as Glenskirlie Castle Hotel (to the west of Banknock) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

From enquiry to sign-off

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Banknock. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

  1. We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
  2. We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
  3. Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
  4. Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
  5. Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Arrange parking or a loading space
