About our construction mastic in Old Blair
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal areas can normally carry on while the outside waits. If you are dealing with sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Old Blair, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites near smaller places like Old Blair 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.
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.

When to call us in Old Blair
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Look out for the following:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- New external sealant already peeling away
Hotels like Atholl Arms Hotel, 0.5 miles to the south-east of Old Blair, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Questions we’re asked in Old Blair
Is Old Blair off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Old Blair?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you fit around our programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Weather matters for external sealing: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
Cost factors for mastic packages
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
For managing agents and facilities managers
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
