Construction mastic for Lochluichart sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Construction mastic in Lochluichart, done properly
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. We work on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints, and what we are called in for most is sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range. Most enquiries from Lochluichart start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Lochluichart can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

Advice
FAQs: Lochluichart
Is Lochluichart too far out for you?
Not at all. Lochluichart is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Lochluichart?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee, covering how we sealed. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Damp, frost or condensation on frames can stop work so we normally switch to internal work when that happens.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
When to call us in Lochluichart
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
For contractors building in or near Lochluichart, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
What to look for in a quote
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
