About our construction mastic in Whiterow
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and cracks opening in caulked internal joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Whiterow it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller places such as Whiterow, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Whiterow with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Leave it or put it right?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Whiterow before they leak.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Construction mastic in Whiterow: the local picture
Whiterow sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. A 2-mile radius around Whiterow takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When a school such as Wick High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Extensions at sites like Wick Town And County Hospital (0.6 miles north of Whiterow) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Wick Retail Park, which lies north of Whiterow, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Whiterow is about 19 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Whiterow sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Postcode districts covered here: KW1. Close to Whiterow, our area also takes in Wick (1 mile north), Haster (3 miles north-west), Staxigoe (3 miles north-east), Thrumster (3 miles south-west) and Ackergillshore (3 miles north). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What’s near Whiterow
Recent enquiries here include premises near Bignold Park. Whiterow’s nearest station is Wick station, roughly 1.2 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Wick Heritage Museum (1.2 miles north) and Castle of Old Wick (0.6 miles east). Not far away are Loch Hempriggs.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common questions from Whiterow clients
Is Wick Retail Park, near Whiterow, within your area?
Yes. We cover Whiterow and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wick Retail Park. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wick Town And County Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you work with the site programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- When you need the work done
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
