About our construction mastic in Greenigoe
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Greenigoe, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. Most enquiries from Greenigoe start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Greenigoe, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building near Greenigoe, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Different surfaces, different methods
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 and reduces snags.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Mastic packages on Greenigoe sites
Greenigoe 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 joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. For an island location such as Greenigoe, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. With drawings and the programme in hand, the whole mastic package comes with us.
For contractors building in or near Greenigoe, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. Extensions at sites like Balfour Hospital, 2.4 miles to the north-east of Greenigoe, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Greenigoe is about 3 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We cover Greenigoe and the rest of the Orkney Islands, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across the Orkney Islands, 51 places are covered, Greenigoe among them.

Close to Greenigoe, our area also takes in Blackhill (2 miles north), Kirkwall (3 miles north-east), Kirbister (3 miles west), Grimbister (4 miles north-west) and Orphir (5 miles west).

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Balfour Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you work on the island where Greenigoe is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Greenigoe included. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Leave it or put it right?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Greenigoe before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
