Construction mastic in North Kessock
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you’re dealing with frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in North Kessock first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as North Kessock, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Contractors’ notes for North Kessock
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from North Kessock. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The west of Scotland, where North Kessock is, gets more rain than the east. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Projects at schools like Inverness High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. For a contractor working at a hospital such as New Craigs Hospital, 2.5 miles to the south of North Kessock, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Advice
When to call us in North Kessock
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
For contractors on a campus like University of the Highlands and Islands, 2.7 miles to the south-east of North Kessock, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.

How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
