Your questions answered
Is Strome Ferry too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the mastic package for our job in Strome Ferry follow the site programme?
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.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Damp, frost or condensation on frames can stop work so we typically switch to internal work when that happens.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We follow the specified sealant. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
How we handle construction mastic in Strome Ferry
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, 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. Most enquiries involve inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Strome Ferry 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 Strome Ferry that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Facades, frames and programmes in Strome Ferry
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Strome Ferry. 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. In Strome Ferry, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
On any site in or around Strome Ferry, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

What affects the price in Strome Ferry
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Strome Ferry
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
From enquiry to 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. For a building near Strome Ferry, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Common problems we fix in Strome Ferry
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
Around Strome Ferry, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
