Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Construction mastic in Clivocast
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can normally carry on while the outside waits. We work on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Clivocast is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
External sealing around Clivocast depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Contractors’ notes for Clivocast
With the shore within about 1 mile, Clivocast counts as a coastal location. 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. The east of Scotland, where Clivocast is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
On any site in or around Clivocast, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Clivocast is in the Shetland Islands. We send applicators to Clivocast for mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Clivocast. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent, plot by plot or floor by floor.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Clivocast, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send your site hours and access windows

FAQs: Clivocast
Can you keep pace with our programme in Clivocast?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Does a coastal location like Clivocast affect which sealant is used?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What does a mastic package typically include?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
How do you work with the site programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and adjusted as things change.

What else we do in Clivocast
What we’re called out for in Clivocast
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Look out for the following:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
A facade joint near Clivocast lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
