About our construction mastic in Beechmount
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Beechmount, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites in Scottish city centres tend to be hemmed in, with deliveries and storage to plan. We work to the programme and the site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.

What else we do in Beechmount
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be 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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
Cost factors for mastic packages
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
Questions about Beechmount
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Beechmount?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Edinburgh Napier University?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
