Questions we are asked in Tobermory
Is Baliscate Industrial Estate, near Tobermory, within your area?
Yes, sites like Baliscate Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Tobermory. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Tobermory too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Share the list and photos, and a fixed quote follows.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
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 we handle construction mastic in Tobermory
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new external sealant already peeling away and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Tobermory it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site around Tobermory, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tobermory
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites, which avoids last-minute problems. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Tobermory before they leak.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Fully insured

What the job involves on each 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.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.
What else we do in Tobermory
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Put any product change through the designer first
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating, and a delay to handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Construction mastic in Tobermory: the local picture
Tobermory is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The west of Scotland, where Tobermory is, gets more rain than the east. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost.
Projects at schools like Tobermory High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Highland Cottage Hotel, under half a mile to the south of Tobermory, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Units on estates such as Baliscate Industrial Estate (to the south of Tobermory) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
