Construction mastic in Inbhir Aora, done properly
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and we’re fully insured. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. If you have new external sealant already peeling away and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, we can help, on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Inbhir Aora, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Inbhir Aora, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
Expect some settlement in the first months. Flexible sealants in the right joints handle normal movement while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. We can advise if a joint needs a different product.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next.

Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Inbhir Aora. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Inbhir Aora: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Inbhir Aora outside your area?
Not at all. Inbhir Aora is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Inbhir Aora?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Public liability insurance is in place.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems so it’s better to wait.
What affects the price in Inbhir Aora
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Facades, frames and programmes in Inbhir Aora
Inbhir Aora lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Inbhir Aora is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa, under half a mile south of Inbhir Aora, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Older buildings in the area around Inbhir Aora, such as Inveraray Castle (0.8 miles north of Inbhir Aora), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
