Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Craobh Haven
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have different trades sealing to different standards and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Craobh Haven first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Craobh Haven, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Craobh Haven
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Craobh Haven, 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, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- CHAS accredited
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Common questions from Craobh Haven clients
Is Craobh Haven off your patch?
No. Places such as Craobh Haven are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a coastal location like Craobh Haven affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We work to your programme. Share the release dates and we will match our work to them.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a building near Craobh Haven, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.

The mastic package follows the approved specification.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Craobh Haven can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Argyll and Bute.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
