- Any access equipment needed

- The size and state of each joint
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
About our construction mastic in Muirhouse
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Muirhouse, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you have inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and cracks opening in caulked internal joints, we can help, on internal decorators’ caulk, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions alike. Most enquiries from Muirhouse start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Muirhouse, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
Why act early in Muirhouse
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Muirhouse, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Muirhouse is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits

FAQs: Muirhouse
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Muirhouse, such as Orbiston Business Park?
Yes, sites like Orbiston Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Muirhouse. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
The specified product is what goes in. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

- Cladding and panel joints

Construction mastic in Muirhouse: the local picture
The area within 2 miles of Muirhouse holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Muirhouse is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
New units and refits on sites such as Orbiston Business Park (to the north-west of Muirhouse) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. New wings at hospitals like University Hospital Wishaw (to the east of Muirhouse) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Projects at colleges like New College Lanarkshire - Motherwell Campus (0.7 miles north of Muirhouse) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
