The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Hollybush is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.

How we handle construction mastic in Hollybush
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Hollybush is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites near smaller places like Hollybush can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions about Hollybush
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of the West of Scotland - Ayr Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like University Hospital Ayr?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
Weather matters for external sealing: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Why act early in Hollybush
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Do you need construction mastic in Hollybush?
On construction sites, joints typically fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
Work at a hotel such as Hollybush House Hotel (less than half a mile south of Hollybush) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What your quote should include
