What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
Snagging before handover
Snags typically come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Construction mastic in Gordon
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items, and every return visit costs time. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. We work on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we are asked to look at most are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Gordon first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
External sealing around Gordon depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Mastic packages on Gordon sites
Gordon is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. We programme around it with the site team. In Gordon, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Around Gordon, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gordon
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Around smaller places like Gordon, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

When to call us in Gordon
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
For contractors building in or near Gordon, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short.
FAQs: Gordon
Can you keep pace with our programme in Gordon?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Gordon off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you fit around our programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team, and we’ll raise anything that holds the work up.
What does a mastic package normally include?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. The scope follows your specification.
