About our construction mastic in Strathy
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Strathy is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Strathy that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode

Construction mastic in Strathy: the local picture
Strathy is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Being in the west of Scotland, Strathy gets more rain than eastern areas. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
On any site in or around Strathy, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. Around Strathy, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
Strathy is about 17 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. We cover Strathy and the rest of Highland, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small.
Anyone looking for construction mastic in KW14 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Nearby places we also cover include Portskerra (3 miles east), Melvich (3 miles east), Reay (8 miles east), Am Blàran Odhar (8 miles west) and Forss (13 miles east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What else we do in Strathy
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Strathy with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Your questions answered
Is Strathy off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Strathy?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What does a mastic package typically include?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months, covering how we sealed. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
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.
