About our construction mastic in Direcleit
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. Searching for sealant specialists in Direcleit? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites near smaller places like Direcleit can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Direcleit
Building and refurbishing in Direcleit
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Direcleit. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Being on an island, Direcleit means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Everything for the package travels with us, so drawings and quantities matter.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Hotel Hebrides, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Direcleit, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need construction mastic in Direcleit
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
On any site in or around Direcleit, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Cost factors for mastic packages
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
Common questions from Direcleit clients
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Direcleit?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll 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.
Can being near the sea in Direcleit affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Direcleit in your area?
Yes. Direcleit is in our area and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for.
