Construction mastic in Voe, done properly
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list, and every return visit costs time. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, whatever the size of the scheme. If you’re dealing with old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Voe from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site around Voe, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

New build and refits around Voe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Voe counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. For an island location such as Voe, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Everything for the package travels with us, so drawings and quantities matter.
Sites around Voe get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Window perimeters and facade joints around Voe need correct width, depth and backing rod as much as a neat finish.
Voe is in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Voe can call on us for mastic packages. Voe is one of 63 places we cover in the Shetland Islands for mastic packages.
Business premises anywhere in ZE2 are within our area. Buildings on Norderhoull, Isles Road and Mulla are within our area for mastic packages. Just outside Voe, we also work in Brae (4 miles north-west), Dury (4 miles south-east), Vidlin (4 miles east), Scatsta (5 miles north) and Sullom (6 miles north-west). Further afield, our area takes in Lerwick (15 miles south), Sound (15 miles south) and Scalloway (15 miles south). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Voe
Will you travel to Voe on the island?
Yes, Voe is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
Does the sea air around Voe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team and updated as the programme moves.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Why deal with it now?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Voe before they leak.
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’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
