How we handle construction mastic in Craichie
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you are dealing with different trades sealing to different standards and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Craichie? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Craichie that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move while moving joints need a flexible sealant.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Craichie
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Jobs near Craichie are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Craichie
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Craichie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Forfar Infirmary?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Craichie?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Public liability insurance is in place.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
