About our construction mastic in Aultbea
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Aultbea, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. Site teams most often ask us about external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and cracks opening in caulked internal joints, on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Aultbea, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Aultbea can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Facades, frames and programmes in Aultbea
Aultbea sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. In Aultbea, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Drumchork Lodge Hotel, which lies south of Aultbea, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: Aultbea
Is a smaller place like Aultbea outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can being near the sea in Aultbea affect the sealant we need?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.

When to call us in Aultbea
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
Sites around Aultbea get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
