Mastic packages on Clachan sites
Clachan lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. Clachan is on Scotland’s wetter western side. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
Sites around Clachan get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. Around Clachan, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Clachan
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you have unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Clachan from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites near smaller places like Clachan can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Clachan, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open

Quoting for work in Clachan
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we are asked in Clachan
Can being near the sea in Clachan affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can the mastic package for our job in Clachan follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
