Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Hillend that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a building near Hillend, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.

Related advice
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting before sealing starts.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Mastic packages on Hillend sites
Hillend is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External dates keep a little give. Projects in Hillend follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Units on estates such as Restenneth Business Park (2.1 miles north-west of Hillend) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Extensions at sites like Forfar Infirmary, 2 miles north-west of Hillend, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Hillend is about 2 miles south-east of Forfar, in Angus. Our applicators travel to Hillend for work on mastic packages. Our Angus coverage takes in 65 places, large and small. Our Dundee page has more on work in that area, about 12 miles away.

Questions we’re asked in Hillend
Is Hillend too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Forfar Infirmary?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
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 will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
