When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Construction mastic in Lochaline, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme. If a product is named, that’s what goes in. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. The enquiries we see most involve sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Lochaline it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites near smaller places like Lochaline can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility. For buildings near Lochaline, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t

Questions we’re asked in Lochaline
Is Lochaline off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Mull and Iona Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Construction mastic in Lochaline: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Lochaline. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in Lochaline follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Lochaline Hotel, less than half a mile to the south of Lochaline, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New wings at hospitals like Mull and Iona Community Hospital (4.8 miles south-east of Lochaline) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Lochaline is about 15 miles north-west of Oban, in Highland. We cover Lochaline, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Lochaline is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for mastic packages. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page, about 75 miles away.

Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.
