Contractors’ notes for Inverlochy
Inverlochy is within about 2 miles of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Projects in Inverlochy follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Units on estates such as Fort William Retail Park, 0.5 miles east of Inverlochy, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor at a hotel such as Ben Nevis Hotel and Leisure Club, under half a mile east of Inverlochy, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Belford Hospital (0.6 miles south-west of Inverlochy), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

About our construction mastic in Inverlochy
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 Inverlochy, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Inverlochy is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Inverlochy is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions we are asked in Inverlochy
Does the sea air around Inverlochy change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Fort William Retail Park, near Inverlochy, within your area?
Yes. We cover Inverlochy and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Fort William Retail Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Different surfaces, different methods
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Commercial clients in Inverlochy
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs near Inverlochy are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- 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.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
