- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Wanlockhead, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Questions about Wanlockhead
Can the mastic package for our job in Wanlockhead follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Wanlockhead?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you stick to the specified products?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. Damage by others after we’ve finished isn’t covered.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you fit around our programme?
We work to your programme. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them so sealing follows the trades.
Sites and facades in and around Wanlockhead
Building work in Wanlockhead 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. Being in the east of Scotland, Wanlockhead 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.
What we are called out for in Wanlockhead
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
Hotels like Hopetoun Arms Hotel, 1.4 miles north-east of Wanlockhead, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
