Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Craig Dunain Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.

Yes. We cover Kirkhill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Tomich Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Mastic packages on Kirkhill sites
Building work in Kirkhill 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. Kirkhill is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
On a healthcare site such as Craig Dunain Hospital (5 miles east of Kirkhill), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Kirkhill is about 7 miles west of Inverness, in Highland. We send applicators to Kirkhill for mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Kirkhill.
Commercial sites across IV5 are covered. If your site is on Newton Park, Groam Court and Fingask Drive or close by, send details and we’ll quote for mastic packages. Main routes into Kirkhill include the B9164, useful when we plan access and materials. We also cover Beauly (2 miles west), Windhill (2 miles north-west), Muir of Ord (3 miles north-west), Kiltarlity (4 miles south-west) and Leachkin (5 miles east) for mastic packages. Nearby towns on our patch include Inverness (7 miles east), Cradlehall (10 miles east), Merkinch (6 miles east), Dingwall (9 miles north), Hilton (7 miles east) and Crown (7 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Quoting for work in Kirkhill
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kirkhill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions

Common problems we fix in Kirkhill
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated.
Look out for the following:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
New units and refits on sites such as Tomich Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles to the north-west of Kirkhill, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
