Construction mastic in Strontian
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Strontian, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you’re dealing with old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, we can put it right, on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Strontian tend to want the same three things: 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 Strontian that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What affects the price in Strontian
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode

What else we do in Strontian
Why deal with it now?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites rather than at the snagging stage. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Strontian before they leak.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What you get with us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
Site staff or a sealant 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Strontian outside your area?
Not at all. Strontian is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the mastic package for our job in Strontian follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you work with the site programme?
We work to your programme. Share the release dates and we will match our work to them so sealing follows the trades.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
Mastic packages on Strontian sites
With the shore within about 1 mile, Strontian counts as a coastal location. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Being in the west of Scotland, Strontian gets more rain than eastern areas. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Work at a hotel such as Strontian Hotel (under half a mile south of Strontian) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. For contractors building in or near Strontian, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
Strontian (Gaelic: Sron an t-Sithein) is in Highland. Commercial clients in Strontian use us for work on mastic packages. Strontian is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for mastic packages. Glasgow is covered too, around 76 miles from Strontian.
If you need construction mastic in PH36, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your site is on Dal nan Each and Dal na Mart or close by, we can quote for mastic packages. We also cover Acharacle (9 miles west), Ceann Loch Muideart (9 miles north-west), Port Appin (12 miles south-east), Appin (12 miles south-east) and Balliveolan (12 miles south) for mastic packages. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

What the job involves on each surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services so we will flag where the detail needs something different. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room.
