Construction mastic in Markethill, done properly
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. Site teams most often ask us about sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and early adhesion failures on new external joints, across floor and skirting junctions, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Whoever orders the work in Markethill, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Markethill that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Markethill
Is Markethill too far out for you?
Not at all. Markethill 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.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging, all priced as one package.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
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 internal areas are often done on those days.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For a building near Markethill, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.

What else we do in Markethill
When to call us in Markethill
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. 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.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
Work at a hotel such as Strathmore Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Markethill) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
