How we handle construction mastic in Lochdon
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and new external sealant already peeling away, on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Lochdon? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Sites near smaller places like Lochdon can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why deal with it now?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Lochdon, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. 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.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Your questions answered
Our building in Lochdon is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Mull and Iona Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Damaged, missed or untidy joints are stripped and done again properly to suit the programme.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters

Building and refurbishing in Lochdon
Lochdon lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Projects in Lochdon follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
New wings at hospitals like Mull and Iona Community Hospital (3.2 miles north of Lochdon) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors building in or near Lochdon, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

Well-known places in the area include Duart Castle (1.9 miles north-east) and Mull and Iona Community Hospital (3.2 miles north).
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Use the product the specification names
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification.
