Construction around smaller Scottish places like Boddam is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
What affects the price in Boddam
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- One contact handling all your sites
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Boddam, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Questions about Boddam

It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.

Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. The scope follows your specification.
Construction mastic around Boddam: what changes locally
Boddam lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Work on Boddam has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Drawings and the programme let us bring every sealant, primer and backing rod the package needs.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Boddam need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish. For contractors building in or near Boddam, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
