Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Locharbriggs
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic snags holding up handover and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Locharbriggs is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Locharbriggs that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why deal with it now?
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. 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 Locharbriggs. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Do you need construction mastic in Locharbriggs?
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- New external sealant already peeling away
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
New units and refits on sites such as St. Mary's Industrial Estate (to the south of Locharbriggs) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Comparing quotes
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

Honest limits
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)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
