Construction mastic across Ferniegair
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Construction mastic in Ferniegair
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ferniegair from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
External sealing around Ferniegair 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: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting.
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 any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near Ferniegair, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We raise them during our first walk of the area.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Construction mastic in Ferniegair: the local picture
Ferniegair is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days. A 2-mile radius around Ferniegair takes in a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Units on estates such as Barncluith Business Centre (0.9 miles north-west of Ferniegair) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor at a hotel such as Avonbridge Hotel, 0.8 miles north-west of Ferniegair, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Projects at schools like Dalziel High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.

Questions about Ferniegair
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Ferniegair too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photographs, and a fixed quote follows.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
