Construction mastic in West Calder
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you are dealing with a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in West Calder is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like West Calder is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Advice
Building and refurbishing in West Calder
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in West Calder warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. West Calder is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team.
When a college such as West Lothian College, 3 miles to the north-east of West Calder, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. New wings at hospitals like St. Ellen’s Private Hospital, 2.6 miles to the north-east of West Calder, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around West Calder, such as Howden House, which lies north-east of West Calder, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near West Calder, such as West Calder Business Centre?
Yes. We cover West Calder and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as West Calder Business Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like West Lothian College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
