Construction mastic for Drakemyre sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For work around Drakemyre, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed 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.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows

About our construction mastic in Drakemyre
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. The enquiries we see most involve missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, across window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Drakemyre, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Drakemyre is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Drakemyre
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Drakemyre, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Drakemyre
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.

New build and refits around Drakemyre
The west of Scotland, where Drakemyre is, gets more rain than the east. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Drakemyre warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Historic houses such as Montgreenan, 4.8 miles to the south-east of Drakemyre, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Hospital estates such as Woodland View (5.9 miles south of Drakemyre) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Drakemyre: questions and answers
Can the mastic package for our job in Drakemyre follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Drakemyre too far out for you?
Not at all. Drakemyre is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems so it’s better to wait.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
