Construction mastic in Croftfoot, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance. Most enquiries involve a long mastic snag list close to completion and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, across sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Most enquiries from Croftfoot start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.

Other services in Croftfoot
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common questions from Croftfoot clients
Can work at a site such as University of Strathclyde fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Croftfoot?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. Send details and photos, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
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.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.

- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

When to call us in Croftfoot
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
Work at a hotel such as Kings Park Hotel (0.8 miles north-east of Croftfoot) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What your quote should include

- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
