Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
About our construction mastic in East Calder
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints, and what we are called in for most is sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and different trades sealing to different standards. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in East Calder is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
External sealing around East Calder depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects and external joints are where it shows first. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like East Calder. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Contractors’ notes for East Calder
In East Calder, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. East Calder is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Saint John's Hospital, 2.7 miles west of East Calder, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a college such as West Lothian College, 2.9 miles west of East Calder, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. With historic properties like Howden House (2.5 miles west of East Calder) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
