Building and refurbishing in Poolewe
Poolewe lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Building work in Poolewe comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
On any site in or around Poolewe, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Facade sealing in Poolewe
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Poolewe. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant pulling away from frames or panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Poolewe is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Share access with other external trades
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Why act early in Poolewe
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Poolewe. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Do you need facade sealing in Poolewe?
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Hotels like Poolewe Hotel (to the north of Poolewe) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Questions we’re asked in Poolewe
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Poolewe?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can being near the sea in Poolewe affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you work in Poolewe?
Yes. Poolewe falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
