What we are called out for in Craobh Haven
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Around Craobh Haven, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
What to look for in a quote

- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What site paperwork they can supply
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Craobh Haven. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Mastic sealing in Craobh Haven: the local picture
Craobh Haven sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Craobh Haven is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Wherever your building is in or near Craobh Haven, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now.

Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Craobh Haven affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Craobh Haven?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
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.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

What affects the price in Craobh Haven
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Why deal with it now?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Craobh Haven. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why clients in Craobh Haven choose us
- CSCS-carded applicators
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
