Craigens: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like East Ayrshire Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you take on work at estates like Thistle Industrial Estate, close to Craigens?
Yes. We cover Craigens and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Thistle Industrial Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work to our specification?
We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
Is Craigens in your area?
Yes. Craigens falls within our area, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
How do you work with the site programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and updated as the programme moves.
How we handle construction mastic in Craigens
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. The enquiries we see most involve a long mastic snag list close to completion and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Craigens is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Craigens that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Advice
What else we do in Craigens
When to call us in Craigens
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Thistle Industrial Estate (1.4 miles north-west of Craigens) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What site paperwork they can supply
Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Craigens. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Contractors’ notes for Craigens
The area within 2 miles of Craigens holds a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Craigens warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Older buildings in the area around Craigens, such as Dumfries House, 2.9 miles to the west of Craigens, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. Extensions at sites like East Ayrshire Community Hospital, 1.5 miles north-west of Craigens, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
