Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Gairloch is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
How we handle construction mastic in Gairloch
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Gairloch, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Site teams most often ask us about a long mastic snag list close to completion and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, across internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Gairloch? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Gairloch that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Questions we are asked in Gairloch
Is Gairloch too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Gairloch are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Our building in Gairloch is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them, working to your handover date.
Can you fit around our programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready, and we’ll raise anything that holds the work up.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent following the programme.
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.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Building and refurbishing in Gairloch
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Gairloch. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. In Gairloch, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Millcroft Hotel, less than half a mile west of Gairloch, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. School extensions, at buildings such as Gairloch High School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Gairloch is in Highland. Commercial clients in Gairloch can call on us for mastic packages. Gairloch is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.
Commercial sites across IV21 are covered. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Glebe Park, Faolin and Burnside Terrace and the roads nearby. Just outside Gairloch, we also work in Lonemore (1 mile west), Badachro (3 miles south-west), Poolewe (4 miles north-east), Inverasdale (6 miles north) and Àird (8 miles north-east). For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.
Landmarks near Gairloch
In Gairloch, that means premises near Gairloch School. Other landmarks nearby include Gairloch Museum (less than half a mile south-east). Not far away are Cnoc Dubh and Linne a' Mhuilinn.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites, which avoids last-minute problems. Leave it late and they turn up on the snag list. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
