Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Navidale is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
About our construction mastic in Navidale
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal sealing often fills those days. Site teams most often ask us about existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, across sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Most enquiries from Navidale start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Navidale that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Common questions from Navidale clients
Is a smaller place like Navidale outside your area?
Not at all. Navidale is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Navidale affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What does a mastic package typically include?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging in one fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
New build and refits around Navidale
With the shore within about 1 mile, Navidale counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Navidale warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Work at a hotel such as Navidale House Hotel (to the south-east of Navidale) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
Why act early in Navidale
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Navidale, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

When to call us in Navidale
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
For contractors building in or near Navidale, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
