How we handle construction mastic in Broughty Ferry
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Broughty Ferry, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you’re dealing with cracks opening in caulked internal joints and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can put it right, on brick and block movement joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Broughty Ferry? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
City-centre sites in Scotland typically mean booked deliveries, tight storage and shared access. Our CSCS-carded applicators work to the site induction, the programme and the sequence of trades.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
FAQs: Broughty Ferry
Could you schedule work at a campus like Abertay University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, close to Broughty Ferry?
Yes, sites like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Broughty Ferry. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Broughty Ferry
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
What happens if it’s left?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations and insurance.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
New build and refits around Broughty Ferry
Broughty Ferry is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Building work in Broughty Ferry comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
University estates such as Abertay University (4.2 miles west of Broughty Ferry) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Extensions at sites like Ashludie Hospital (to the north-east of Broughty Ferry) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
