New build and refits around Glen More
With the shore within about 2 miles, Glen More counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. In Glen More, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Glen More need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish. For contractors building in or near Glen More, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Glen More is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Glen More can call on us for mastic packages. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Glen More.

How we handle construction mastic in Glen More
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Glen More. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we’re called in for most is caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Glen More is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Glen More is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
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.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Your questions answered
Our building in Glen More is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Glen More too far out for you?
Not at all. Glen More is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
We install fire-rated sealant where it is the specified product. We’ll flag if the detail needs a different product.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Cost factors for mastic packages
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What else we do in Glen More
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line.
