How we handle construction mastic in Broughtown
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Broughtown, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have a long mastic snag list close to completion and different trades sealing to different standards, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Broughtown tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites near smaller places like Broughtown can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

What affects the price in Broughtown
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Mastic packages on Broughtown sites
Broughtown lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Broughtown is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We programme around it with the site team.
A facade joint near Broughtown lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Broughtown is about 23 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We cover Broughtown and the rest of the Orkney Islands, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across the Orkney Islands, 51 places are covered, Broughtown among them.

Close to Broughtown, our area also takes in Lady (2 miles east), Wardhill (10 miles south), Pierowall (14 miles west), Rackwick (14 miles west) and Brinian (16 miles south-west). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so include the location in your enquiry.

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Common questions from Broughtown clients
Our building in Broughtown is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Broughtown?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you need construction mastic in Broughtown?
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
On any site in or around Broughtown, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
