Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Northern Infirmary?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of the Highlands & Islands for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We’re fully insured for public liability.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Construction mastic in Inverness
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers on schemes in Inverness, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and early adhesion failures on new external joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Inverness, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a Scottish town the size of Inverness, construction runs from new-build schemes on the edge to refurbishing older stone buildings in the centre. Harled, rendered, brick and clad elevations each need a different approach to the perimeter and facade joints.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What else we do in Inverness
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent following the programme.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If you manage more than one building in Inverness, they can be grouped, with one quote. Share your working hours and access arrangements and we’ll fit in.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Contractors’ notes for Inverness
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Inverness. 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. A 2-mile radius around Inverness takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
On a healthcare site such as Royal Northern Infirmary, under half a mile to the west of Inverness, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When units on a site such as Telford Retail Park (1.1 miles north-west of Inverness) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. When a college such as Inverness College UHI (to the east of Inverness) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.
Inverness (Gaelic: Inbhir Nis) is in Highland. Commercial clients in Inverness use us for work on mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Highland. Inverness is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for mastic packages.
If you need construction mastic in IV2, IV3 and IV1, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your site is on High Street, Market Brae and Falcon Square or close by, send details and we’ll quote for mastic packages. You’ll find Inverness on or near the A9 and A82, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Sites close to Inverness are covered too, including Ballifeary (1 mile west), Crown (1 mile north-east), Hilton (1 mile south-east), Millburn (1 mile north-east) and Lochardil (1 mile south). A short drive away, we cover Nairn (15 miles north-east), Cradlehall (3 miles east), Dingwall (12 miles north-west), Muir of Ord (9 miles west), Fortrose (8 miles north-east) and Conon Bridge (10 miles north-west). Inverness ranks among the main centres of Highland, with offices, shops, schools and other public and commercial buildings. For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead.
Landmarks near Inverness
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Cavell Gardens and Maple Court Hotel, among other places. The nearest railway station is Inverness station, about 0.7 miles north. A little further out are Inverness Castle (0.5 miles north) and Inverness Museum and Art Gallery (0.5 miles north). The countryside around Inverness includes Tomnahurich.
Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. If one joint has failed on a building in Inverness, its neighbours, laid at the same time, may not be far off. One programme for all of them saves time.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
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 speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
