After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short.

Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newbigging
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Newbigging, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Construction mastic in Newbigging: the local picture
Newbigging lies within about 3 miles of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Being in the east of Scotland, Newbigging gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
Extensions at sites like Ashludie Hospital, 1.9 miles to the south of Newbigging, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Newbigging is about 3 miles north-east of Broughty Ferry, in Angus. Our applicators travel to Newbigging for work on mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Where we can, we combine work around Newbigging with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker.
When to call us in Newbigging
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
For contractors building in or near Newbigging, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
