About our construction mastic in Gauldry
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. We work on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new external sealant already peeling away and cracks opening in caulked internal joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Gauldry first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Gauldry can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Advice
Facades, frames and programmes in Gauldry
Gauldry sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Gauldry 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.
Hospital estates such as Dundee Dental Hospital, 4.1 miles north of Gauldry, 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.
Gauldry is about 5 miles south of Dundee, in Fife. We cover Gauldry, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Gauldry is one of 132 places in Fife on our list for mastic packages.

Questions we’re asked in Gauldry
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Dundee?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Gauldry change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Will you stick to the specified products?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Gauldry, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Gauldry
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
University estates such as University of Dundee, 4 miles north of Gauldry, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. The specification decides which.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
