Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Cromarty
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Site teams most often ask us about inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected, on floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Cromarty it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Sites near smaller places like Cromarty can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Cromarty as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

FAQs: Cromarty
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as County Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does a coastal location like Cromarty affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
New build and refits around Cromarty
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Cromarty. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Building work in Cromarty comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
On a healthcare site such as County Community Hospital, 4.4 miles west of Cromarty, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Royal Hotel, less than half a mile to the north-west of Cromarty, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Cromarty is about 9 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. Anywhere in IV11, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small. We also cover Aberdeen, around 80 miles from Cromarty.
Commercial sites across IV11 are covered. Among the streets we cover are High Street, Allan Square and Denoon Place, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Access to Cromarty is via the A832 and B9163, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Nearby places we also cover include Nigg (3 miles north), Davidston (3 miles south-west), Pitcalnie (3 miles north), Barbaraville (4 miles north-west) and Kilmuir (4 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Nairn (9 miles south-east), Cradlehall (14 miles south), Tain (9 miles north), Alness (8 miles west), Dornoch (14 miles north) and Invergordon (5 miles west). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so include the location in your enquiry.
Landmarks near Cromarty
Nearby you’ll also find Cromarty Courthouse Museum (under half a mile east) and County Community Hospital (4.4 miles west). The countryside around Cromarty includes Udale Bay RSPB reserve.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
