Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Whitehills Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Tannadice?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover and damaged joints are redone properly.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How we handle construction mastic in Tannadice
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items, and every return visit costs time. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection. If you have sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Tannadice? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Tannadice is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Construction mastic around Tannadice: points for this area
Building work in Tannadice comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Being in the east of Scotland, Tannadice gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
Work at a hotel such as Finavon Hotel, 1.4 miles east of Tannadice, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Tannadice is about 5 miles north of Forfar, in Angus. We cover Tannadice, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Tannadice is one of 65 places we cover in Angus. Sites around Dundee have their own page, about 17 miles away.

If your building is just outside Tannadice, we cover Noranside (1 mile north), Aberlemno (3 miles south-east), Lunanhead (4 miles south), Forfar (5 miles south) and Padanaram (5 miles south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Arbroath (15 miles south-east), Montrose (15 miles east), Kirriemuir (6 miles south-west), Brechin (8 miles east), Hunter's Town (15 miles south) and Letham (7 miles south-east).

Surface by 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.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
Do you need construction mastic in Tannadice?
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
On a healthcare site such as Whitehills Hospital (4.3 miles south of Tannadice), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Building owners, agents and FMs in Tannadice
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tannadice is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Use the product the specification names
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
