St Mary's: questions and answers
Can you take on a job in St Mary's, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, St Mary's included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Balfour Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What does a mastic package typically include?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. The scope follows your specification.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in St Mary's
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. For buildings near St Mary's, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Facades, frames and programmes in St Mary's
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from St Mary's. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Building work in St Mary's comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
For contractors building in or near St Mary's, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. Extensions at sites like Balfour Hospital, 5.8 miles to the north of St Mary's, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
St Mary's is about 6 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. St Mary's sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 51 places in the Orkney Islands, from busy centres to rural villages.
If you need construction mastic in KW17, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed.

We also cover Upper Sanday (3 miles east), Burray Village (4 miles south), Toab (4 miles north-east), Grimness (5 miles south) and St Margaret's Hope (5 miles south). St Mary's is one of the busier places in the Orkney Islands, and its commercial and public buildings are all within our area. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover, priced as part of the package or separately.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work, so we plan external work with that in mind.

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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
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
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Jobs near St Mary's are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
