Mastic packages on Glen Moriston sites
In Glen Moriston, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification. The west of Scotland, where Glen Moriston is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
Around Glen Moriston, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation.

Facade sealing in Glen Moriston, done properly
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you’re dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Glen Moriston? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

Why it’s worth doing now in Glen Moriston
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.

Common questions from Glen Moriston clients
Is Glen Moriston too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which documents can you supply for work in Glen Moriston?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
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, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly with a compatible product.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.
