Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer and we install what’s specified.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Fettercairn is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

When to call us in Fettercairn
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
On a healthcare site such as Stracathro Hospital, 5.4 miles south of Fettercairn, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. For buildings near Fettercairn, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What else we do in Fettercairn
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

FAQs: Fettercairn
Is Fettercairn too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Fettercairn are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Stracathro Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
