Common questions from Tomintoul clients
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Tomintoul?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Tomintoul too small for you to travel to?
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.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Construction mastic in Tomintoul, done properly
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you have failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tomintoul tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Tomintoul, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. For work around Tomintoul, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Construction mastic in Tomintoul: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Tomintoul gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team. Building work in Tomintoul comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
On any site in or around Tomintoul, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

How the job changes by surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
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 before sealing starts.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
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. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.

When to call us in Tomintoul
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Hotels like Richmond Arms Hotel, less than half a mile to the south-east of Tomintoul, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
