RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need.

Advice
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Broomhill Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Haughhead off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Contractors’ notes for Haughhead
In Haughhead, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification. The west of Scotland, where Haughhead is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
Hospital estates such as Broomhill Hospital (to the south-east of Haughhead) 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. Sites around Haughhead get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Haughhead is about 5 miles north-west of Kirkintilloch, in East Dunbartonshire. Our applicators travel to Haughhead for work on mastic packages. Haughhead is one of 24 places in East Dunbartonshire on our list. Sites around Glasgow have their own page, roughly 9 miles from Haughhead.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
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’ll confirm with the quote.
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.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
