When to call us in Shulishader
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
School extensions, at buildings such as Aird Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Construction mastic in Shulishader, done properly
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. The enquiries we see most involve frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, across internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions. For commercial sealant work in Shulishader, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Shulishader that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Na h-Eileanan Siar. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
FAQs: Shulishader
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Shulishader?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will you travel to Shulishader on the island?
Yes, Shulishader is within the area we cover. We work across every Scottish council area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Shulishader, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
