Construction mastic in Brodick, done properly
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. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Brodick, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around Brodick, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
FAQs: Brodick
Is Brodick 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. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does the sea air around Brodick 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.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Brodick, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised straight away.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies and work only when conditions suit.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Facades, frames and programmes in Brodick
Brodick sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The west of Scotland, where Brodick is, gets more rain than the east. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Extensions at sites like Arran War Memorial Hospital, 2.7 miles to the south-east of Brodick, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For a contractor at a hotel such as Auchrannie House Hotel, under half a mile west of Brodick, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Brodick is about 15 miles west of Saltcoats, in North Ayrshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Brodick, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Brodick is one of 54 places in North Ayrshire on our list. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area.
Commercial sites across KA27 are covered. If your site is on Market Road, Cora Linn Court and Manse Road or close by, we can quote for mastic packages. We also cover Strathwhillan (1 mile east), Lamlash (3 miles south-east), Cordon (3 miles south), Corrie (4 miles north) and Pien (7 miles south-west) for mastic packages. Bigger towns within reach include Saltcoats (15 miles east), Ardrossan (14 miles east), West Kilbride (14 miles north-east), Auchenharvie (15 miles east) and Millport (15 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Landmarks near Brodick
A little further out are Arran War Memorial Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Brodick Castle (1.2 miles north). For a walk, there’s Àrd Bheinn and Loch Nuis.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Use the product the specification names
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last. We flag them as soon as we see them.
