Common questions from Pinwherry clients
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Pinwherry?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Pinwherry outside your area?
Not at all. Pinwherry is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing so we usually switch to internal work when that happens.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
About our construction mastic in Pinwherry
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over, so applicators arrive when areas are genuinely ready. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you have external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Pinwherry tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
External sealing around Pinwherry depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Use the product the specification names
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Pinwherry with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- 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.

What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
What we are called out for in Pinwherry
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.
Look out for the following:
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
Sites around Pinwherry get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
