Construction mastic in Reraig
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Construction mastic in Reraig, done properly
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Reraig, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Most enquiries involve old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, on brick and block movement joints, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Reraig from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller places such as Reraig, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Construction mastic in Reraig: the local picture
Reraig lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Building work in Reraig comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
New units and refits on sites such as Lochalsh Business Park (to the east of Reraig) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Balmacara Hotel, which lies west of Reraig, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions from Reraig clients
Can you work at a site such as Lochalsh Business Park, by Reraig?
Yes. We cover Reraig and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lochalsh Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does the sea air around Reraig change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Reraig in your area?
Yes. We cover Reraig, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems so it’s better to wait.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Reraig. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
