Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Staxigoe. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Staxigoe
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list and clearing them late eats into the handover window. We seal so the snag list stays short, area by area through the programme. We work on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Staxigoe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Staxigoe, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

FAQs: Staxigoe
Is a hospital such as Caithness General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can being near the sea in Staxigoe affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them, working to your handover date.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Is Staxigoe in your area?
Yes. Staxigoe falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What else we do in Staxigoe
What we’re called out for in Staxigoe
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.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
When units on a site such as Lochshell Business Park (to the west of Staxigoe) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facades, frames and programmes in Staxigoe
Staxigoe sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Staxigoe warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Nethercliffe Hotel, 1.5 miles south-west of Staxigoe, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. For contractors at a school such as Wick High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Staxigoe is about 19 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Staxigoe sits inside our coverage and the rest of Highland, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Staxigoe among them.
If you need construction mastic in KW1, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Among the streets we cover are Elzy Road, Bobby Coghill Avenue and Elzy Place. We also cover Wick (1 mile south-west), Ackergillshore (2 miles north-west), Whiterow (3 miles south-west), Reiss (4 miles north-west) and Haster (4 miles west) for mastic packages. Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully.
Around Staxigoe
Recent enquiries here include premises near Bignold Park. The nearest railway station is Wick station, roughly 1.7 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Castle Sinclair Girnigoe (1.6 miles north) and Wick Heritage Museum (1.6 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Loch Hempriggs.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
Why deal with it now?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
