Construction mastic for Cordon sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
About our construction mastic in Cordon
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list, and every return visit costs time. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. If you have old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Cordon, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Cordon, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Arran War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Cordon off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We work to your programme. Tell us the sequence and we’ll plan applicators around it.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. Damage by others after we’ve finished isn’t covered.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. For work around Cordon, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
New build and refits around Cordon
Cordon sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Cordon is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Extensions at sites like Arran War Memorial Hospital (to the north-east of Cordon) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. School extensions, at buildings such as Arran High School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Cordon is about 16 miles south-west of Saltcoats, in North Ayrshire. Anywhere in KA27, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 54 places in North Ayrshire, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Glasgow, around 40 miles from Cordon.
Commercial sites across KA27 are covered for mastic packages. For a building on Monamore Place, McKelvie Road and Glencraig Place or nearby, we can quote for mastic packages. Just outside Cordon, we also work in Lamlash (1 mile north-east), Strathwhillan (3 miles north), Brodick (3 miles north), Whiting Bay (3 miles south-east) and Drimlabarra (6 miles south). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully.
Near you in Cordon
Nearby you’ll also find Arran War Memorial Hospital (1.2 miles north-east) and Isle of Arran Heritage Museum (3.9 miles north). Open spaces near Cordon include Àrd Bheinn and Urie Loch.
Doing it in-house
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common problems we fix in Cordon
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
For a contractor at a hotel such as Lamlash Bay Hotel (under half a mile north-east of Cordon), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
