Construction mastic in Poolewe, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. 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 cracks opening in caulked internal joints and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, on cladding and panel joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Poolewe tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Poolewe that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
New build and refits around Poolewe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Poolewe counts as a coastal location. 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. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Poolewe warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
On any site in or around Poolewe, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Poolewe Hotel (under half a mile north of Poolewe), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Poolewe is in Highland. Any commercial site in Poolewe is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, including Poolewe.
Commercial sites across IV22 are covered. Streets here include Cliffton, Sydney's Way and St Maelrubha Close, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Gairloch (4 miles south-west), Inverasdale (4 miles north-west), Lonemore (5 miles south-west), Aultbea (5 miles north) and Àird (5 miles north) for mastic packages. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Poolewe
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Poolewe. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Poolewe. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Poolewe: questions and answers
Can the mastic package for our job in Poolewe follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does a coastal location like Poolewe affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Poolewe is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- 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.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
