What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- 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 in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints

About our construction mastic in Burnbrae
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Most enquiries involve bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and new external sealant already peeling away, across internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions. Most enquiries from Burnbrae start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Burnbrae, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Burnbrae with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Cost factors for mastic packages
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
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.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby, and that time depends on the product, temperature and joint depth.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
Construction mastic in Burnbrae: the local picture
Building work in Burnbrae 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. Burnbrae is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.
When to call us in Burnbrae
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
Extensions at sites like Cleland Hospital (4.4 miles west of Burnbrae) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
