FAQs: Stronord
Is Stronord too far out for you?
Not at all. Stronord is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is a hospital such as Newton Stuart Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you fit around our programme?
We work to your programme. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How we handle construction mastic in Stronord
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, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you have bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Stronord is the same: 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 Stronord that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Contractors’ notes for Stronord
Stronord sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Stronord warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
On any site in or around Stronord, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Newton Stuart Hospital, 2.9 miles to the west of Stronord, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Around smaller places like Stronord, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Stronord. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Stronord are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- 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
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
