Construction mastic in Keith, done properly
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers. The enquiries we see most involve snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and new external sealant already peeling away, on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Keith tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Keith, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Keith, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
When to bring in a specialist
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies and work only when conditions suit.
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Questions about Keith
Can you keep pace with our programme in Keith?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Keith too far out for you?
Not at all. Keith is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Around smaller places like Keith, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

New build and refits around Keith
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Keith. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Keith is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Ugie House Hotel, which lies north-east of Keith, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Hospital estates such as Turner Memorial Hospital (less than half a mile west of Keith) 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. School extensions, at buildings such as Keith Grammar School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Keith is about 9 miles south of Buckie, in Moray. Any commercial site in Keith is covered. 59 places across Moray fall within our area, Keith among them. We also cover Aberdeen, some 41 miles away.
