How we handle construction mastic in Galltair
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Galltair, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracks opening in caulked internal joints and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Galltair is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Galltair that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Mastic packages on Galltair sites
Galltair sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Projects in Galltair follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
For contractors building in or near Galltair, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. School extensions, at buildings such as Bernera School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Galltair is in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Galltair. We work across 256 places in Highland, from busy centres to rural villages.

What else we do in Galltair
Why act early in Galltair
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and reduces snags.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Your questions answered
Can the mastic package for our job in Galltair follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is a smaller place like Galltair outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
