Questions about Bun Othan
Is Bun Othan off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does a coastal location like Bun Othan affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Mastic sealing in Bun Othan
Across Bun Othan and the rest of Argyll and Bute, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are leaks at window and door perimeters and communal area joints that look neglected. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bun Othan, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For buildings around Bun Othan, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Bun Othan as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.

Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Bun Othan. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

For owners and agents in Bun Othan
With the shore within about 1 mile, Bun Othan counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Bun Othan is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you are responsible for a building such as St Oran’s Chapel (Orsay), frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Around Bun Othan, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
