West Side: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Barvas Industrial Estate, near West Side?
Yes, sites like Barvas Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of West Side. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is West Side inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as West Side. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where it’s specified, yes to the tested detail. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
What accreditations do you hold?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in West Side
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. Our aim is joints that pass at the first inspection, area by area through the programme. The enquiries we see most involve frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and early adhesion failures on new external joints, across internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in West Side tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like West Side that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What else we do in West Side
Do you need construction mastic in West Side?
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
For contractors building in or near West Side, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Who will actually carry out the work
Why it’s worth doing now in West Side
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 reappears in the defects period. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like West Side. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around West Side, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Use the product the specification names
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Record the products used in the O&M file
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
New build and refits around West Side
West Side sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. West Side is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
When units on a site such as Barvas Industrial Estate (to the south-east of West Side) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
West Side is about 11 miles north-west of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We cover commercial sites throughout West Side, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. West Side is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar on our list for mastic packages.
If you need construction mastic in HS2, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Gleann Mor, Heatherhill and Sraid na Loch are within our area for mastic packages. Nearby places we also cover include Barabhas (1 mile north-west), Bragar (4 miles west), Shader (4 miles north-east), Borgh (6 miles north-east) and Shawbost (7 miles west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
