How we handle construction mastic in Moor of Granary
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we’re called in for most is snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Moor of Granary first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Moor of Granary, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Note which sealant went where at handover
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
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. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
What we are called out for in Moor of Granary
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
On a healthcare site such as Leanchoil Hospital (2.1 miles north-west of Moor of Granary), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
