About our construction mastic in Carmichael
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. If you’re dealing with sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Carmichael start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Carmichael, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Carmichael. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.

Common questions from Carmichael clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as William Smellie Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Carmichael?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you need construction mastic in Carmichael?
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink and internal caulk in a moving joint is typically the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
For a contractor working at a hospital such as William Smellie Memorial Hospital, 4.6 miles to the north-west of Carmichael, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility, with the same standard on every plot. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Carmichael before they leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
