Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that. If that happens, let us know.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
About our construction mastic in Coillore
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions, and what we’re called in for most is missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Coillore first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Coillore that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Coillore is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What else we do in Coillore
Surface by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. The specification decides which.
Contractors’ notes for Coillore
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Coillore. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Projects in Coillore follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
A facade joint near Coillore lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish.
Coillore is in Highland. Coillore sits inside our coverage and the rest of Highland, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 256 places in Highland.

What affects the price in Coillore
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions answered
Our building in Coillore is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a smaller place like Coillore outside your area?
Not at all. Coillore is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Public liability insurance is in place.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Signs you need construction mastic in Coillore
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
For contractors building in or near Coillore, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.
