Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Construction mastic in Strathore
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. Site teams most often ask us about a long mastic snag list close to completion and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Strathore, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Strathore that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Strathore: questions and answers
Is Strathore off your patch?
Not at all. Strathore is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Would you work within a site like Whyteman's Brae Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Where we can, we combine work around Strathore with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

Advice
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
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. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Strathore before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Colour agreed before work starts
See our cost guide or our accreditations.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
