Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Construction mastic in Hartwood
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. Site teams most often ask us about old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk. Most enquiries from Hartwood start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Hartwood, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints

- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
Sites and facades in and around Hartwood
The east of Scotland, where Hartwood is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team. In Hartwood, 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.
On a healthcare site such as Cleland Hospital (2.8 miles west of Hartwood), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Units on estates such as Glenburn Industrial Estate (to the east of Hartwood) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

Your questions answered
Is Glenburn Industrial Estate, near Hartwood, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hartwood, Glenburn Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Cleland Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
