Facade sealing in An t-Ollach, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you have weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in An t-Ollach first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like An t-Ollach is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier

What else we do in An t-Ollach
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.

Projects in An t-Ollach follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.

Questions we are asked in An t-Ollach
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Portree Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does the sea air around An t-Ollach 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. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near An t-Ollach, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Advice
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
