Questions about Ardvasar
Is Ardvasar off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does the sea air around Ardvasar change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Facade sealing in Ardvasar, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we are called in for most is weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and air leaks through failed facade joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Ardvasar is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller places such as Ardvasar, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

New build and refits around Ardvasar
Ardvasar sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Being in the west of Scotland, Ardvasar gets more rain than eastern areas. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
Sites around Ardvasar get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Ardvasar (Gaelic: Àird a' Bhasair) is in Highland. Our applicators travel to Ardvasar for work on facade joints. We work across 256 places in Highland, from busy centres to rural villages.
Work on facade joints is covered throughout IV45, for business premises of every kind. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Newton Bank and Dail Conaisg. Sites close to Ardvasar are covered too, including Armadale (1 mile north-east), Kilbeg (2 miles north-east), Mallaig (5 miles south-east), Morar (7 miles south-east) and Glenancross (7 miles south). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.
Local landmarks in Ardvasar
The closest station to Ardvasar is Mallaig station, about 4.7 miles south-east. A little further out are Museum of the Isles (1 mile north) and Armadale Castle (1.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Sgùrr nan Caorach and Loch Sgurr na Caorach.
Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ardvasar before they leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Providing access systems for the work
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.
When to call us in Ardvasar
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Around Ardvasar, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs near Ardvasar are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
