What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Construction mastic in Strathwhillan
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Strathwhillan it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Strathwhillan that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

What affects the price in Strathwhillan
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
New build and refits around Strathwhillan
With the shore within about 1 mile, Strathwhillan counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Strathwhillan is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Douglas Hotel, less than half a mile west of Strathwhillan, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. We can return to clear snags before handover.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.

Common questions from Strathwhillan clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Arran War Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Our building in Strathwhillan is near the coast: does that change the 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.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Common problems we fix in Strathwhillan
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Look out for the following:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
New wings at hospitals like Arran War Memorial Hospital (2.4 miles south of Strathwhillan) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
