About our construction mastic in Newton of Falkland
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Newton of Falkland is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites near smaller places like Newton of Falkland can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Newton of Falkland as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it.

Questions about Newton of Falkland
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Newton of Falkland?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Glenrothes Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Damage by others after we’ve finished isn’t covered.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
Quoting for work in Newton of Falkland
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
