Construction mastic in Nethercraigs, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and a long mastic snag list close to completion, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints. Most enquiries from Nethercraigs 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.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
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.

Facades, frames and programmes in Nethercraigs
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Nethercraigs. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Building work in Nethercraigs comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
School extensions, at buildings such as Lourdes Secondary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Projects at colleges like Glasgow Clyde College - Cardonald Campus (less than half a mile north of Nethercraigs) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.

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 reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- 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.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Quoting for work in Nethercraigs
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
When to call us in Nethercraigs
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
Extensions at sites like Ross Hall Hospital, 1.1 miles to the west of Nethercraigs, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are typically sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. We follow what’s specified.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External mastic depends on conditions: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
