How we handle construction mastic in Craigo
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. Site teams most often ask us about sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Whoever orders the work in Craigo, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
External sealing around Craigo depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What happens if it’s left?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. For buildings near Craigo, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
Quoting for work in Craigo
Before we quote, we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
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.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Whether you’re 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. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Questions we are asked in Craigo
Is Craigo off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Craigo?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Facades, frames and programmes in Craigo
Being in the east of Scotland, Craigo gets less rain than the west coast. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. In Craigo, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Extensions at sites like Stracathro Hospital, 4 miles west of Craigo, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotels like Marykirik Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north of Craigo, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
