Construction mastic across Daviot
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Use the product the specification names
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
How we handle construction mastic in Daviot
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you are dealing with mastic snags holding up handover and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Daviot, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Daviot that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Daviot: questions and answers
Is Daviot too far out for you?
Not at all. Daviot is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as House Of Daviot Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. For buildings near Daviot, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Daviot, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
