Construction mastic for businesses in Templand
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How we handle construction mastic in Templand
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. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you have a long mastic snag list close to completion and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Templand it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
External sealing around Templand depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Building and refurbishing in Templand
Projects in Templand follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. Templand is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External dates keep a little give.
On a healthcare site such as Lochmaben Hospital, 2.4 miles to the south of Templand, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Sites around Templand get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

What affects the price in Templand
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Why act early in Templand
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to, and the defect comes back after handover. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Templand, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Use the product the specification names
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby; we confirm the time for each product.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Templand: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lochmaben Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Templand?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
