New build and refits around New Aberdour
New Aberdour lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. In New Aberdour, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Work at a hotel such as Commercial Hotel (to the south-west of New Aberdour) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

About our construction mastic in New Aberdour
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and mastic snags holding up handover, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in New Aberdour, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like New Aberdour is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Your questions answered
Is New Aberdour too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near New Aberdour?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around New Aberdour before they leak.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near New Aberdour, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Related advice
Do you need construction mastic in New Aberdour?
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
Sites around New Aberdour get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
