When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Common questions from Tayvallich clients
Can the mastic package for our job in Tayvallich follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Tayvallich outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
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 internal areas are often done on those days.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

What else we do in Tayvallich
When to call us in Tayvallich
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- New external sealant already peeling away
Sites around Tayvallich get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Facades, frames and programmes in Tayvallich
Tayvallich lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. The west of Scotland, where Tayvallich is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
Window perimeters and facade joints around Tayvallich need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
