How we handle mastic sealing in Muir of Ord
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Most enquiries involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Muir of Ord, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

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.

Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
