How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lonmore is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- 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
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Construction mastic in Lonmore, done properly
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you’re dealing with new external sealant already peeling away and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, we can put it right, on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lonmore first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site around Lonmore, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions about Lonmore
Can you keep pace with our programme in Lonmore?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Lonmore change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work in Lonmore?
Yes. Lonmore falls within our area, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested details. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer and building control.
Building and refurbishing in Lonmore
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Lonmore. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Projects in Lonmore follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Work at a hotel such as Dunvegan Hotel (to the north-west of Lonmore) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Lonmore is in Highland. We send applicators to Lonmore for mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Lonmore among them.
Business premises anywhere in IV55 are within our area. We also cover Dunvegan (1 mile north-west), Kilmuir (1 mile north-west), Colbost (3 miles west), An t-Aodann Ban (6 miles north-east) and Coillore (8 miles south-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Local landmarks in Lonmore
Well-known places in the area include Dunvegan Castle (2 miles north-west) and Giant Angus Macaskill Museum (1 mile north-west). For a walk, there’s MacLeod's Table.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
Do you need construction mastic in Lonmore?
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, and the joint has to be redone.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
Sites around Lonmore get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team before sealing starts.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services so we will flag where the detail needs something different. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
