How we handle construction mastic in Craigton
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve a long mastic snag list close to completion and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, across internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Craigton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Craigton, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
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.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- 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
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Craigton
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks, so we plan external work with that in mind.
When to call us in Craigton
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly, so depth is controlled with backing rod or bond-breaker tape.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Units on estates such as Craigton Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Craigton) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their public liability cover
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Sites and facades in and around Craigton

We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. The area within 2 miles of Craigton holds plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.

Common questions from Craigton clients
Can you work at a site such as Craigton Industrial Estate, by Craigton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Craigton, Craigton Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.

Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging, all priced as one package.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Why act early in Craigton
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
