Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Hillside
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and a long mastic snag list close to completion. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hillside is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller places such as Hillside, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the job changes 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.
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.
Why deal with it now?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference and external joints are where it shows first. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Hillside. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Commercial sealant work since 2005

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints

Construction mastic around Hillside: how the place shapes the job
With the shore within about 2 miles, Hillside counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Hillside is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External dates keep a little give.
Units on estates such as Forties Road Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Hillside) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Stracathro Hospital, 5.7 miles north-west of Hillside, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
