How we handle construction mastic in Bridge of Orchy
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you’re dealing with a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can put it right, on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Bridge of Orchy it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Bridge of Orchy that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
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.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
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 stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Bridge of Orchy?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Bridge of Orchy off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What happens if it’s left?
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, which avoids last-minute problems. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. 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.
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
