Frames, entrances and external joints in Aiginis
With the shore within about 1 mile, Aiginis counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Being on an island, Aiginis means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. We group island buildings so each crossing covers as much as possible.
Around Aiginis, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. For owners of several units at places like Parkend Industrial Estate, which lies west of Aiginis, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Mastic sealing in Aiginis
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Site teams most often ask us about a mix of products and colours from past repairs and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Aiginis? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller Scottish places like Aiginis, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Advice
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs: Aiginis
Does a coastal location like Aiginis affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you travel to Aiginis on the island?
Yes, Aiginis is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aiginis
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. For buildings near Aiginis, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Aiginis
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
