What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
Construction mastic in Stratherrick
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list. We seal so the snag list stays short. If you have early adhesion failures on new external joints and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Stratherrick? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Stratherrick that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Stratherrick as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Surface by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Your questions answered
What site paperwork comes with a job in Stratherrick?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is a smaller place like Stratherrick outside your area?
Not at all. Stratherrick is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We’re also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Stratherrick with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Construction mastic in Stratherrick: the local picture
The west of Scotland, where Stratherrick is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days. In Stratherrick, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Whitebridge Hotel, 1.2 miles north-east of Stratherrick, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On any site in or around Stratherrick, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Stratherrick is about 22 miles south-west of Inverness, in Highland. Our applicators travel to Stratherrick for work on mastic packages. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Stratherrick. There’s a separate page for Dundee, roughly 77 miles from Stratherrick.
If you need construction mastic in IV2, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Just outside Stratherrick, we also work in Invermoriston (4 miles north-west), Gorthleck (5 miles north-east), Fort Augustus (7 miles south-west), Newtown (9 miles south-west) and Lewiston (10 miles north). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
