Common problems we fix in Lochawe
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
For a contractor at a hotel such as Loch Awe Hotel, which lies south-west of Lochawe, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
About our construction mastic in Lochawe
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility. We work on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are cracks opening in caulked internal joints and different trades sealing to different standards. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lochawe from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
External sealing around Lochawe depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snags normally come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Common questions from Lochawe clients
Is a smaller place like Lochawe outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the mastic package for our job in Lochawe follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Snag-only work is something we take on and damaged joints are redone properly.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and updated as the programme moves.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
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 and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
