That keeps the work right first time and saves rework.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Facades, frames and programmes in Isle of Whithorn

Building work in Isle of Whithorn comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Around Isle of Whithorn, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation. On any site in or around Isle of Whithorn, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Common questions from Isle of Whithorn clients
Is a smaller place like Isle of Whithorn outside your area?
No. Places such as Isle of Whithorn are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around Isle of Whithorn change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specified product is what goes in. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
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.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
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.
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. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
