Construction mastic near Craigiebuckler
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.

Questions about Craigiebuckler
Can you work on a hospital site such as Woodend Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Craigiebuckler?
Normally the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Craigiebuckler can form part of a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Use the product the specification names
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Sites and facades in and around Craigiebuckler
Building work in Craigiebuckler comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Craigiebuckler. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor at a hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Aberdeen Treetops, which lies south-east of Craigiebuckler, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors at a school such as Airyhall Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. New wings at hospitals like Woodend Hospital, 0.9 miles north-west of Craigiebuckler, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are typically sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which.
