About our mastic sealing in Aird Tong
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are window mastic that has split and shrunk and open joints in brickwork or panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Aird Tong is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around Aird Tong, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions we’re asked in Aird Tong
Will you travel to Aird Tong on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Aird Tong included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Aird Tong?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long do sealant joints 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.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
For owners and agents in Aird Tong
Aird Tong lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. The west of Scotland, where Aird Tong is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
For a building around Aird Tong, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait.
Aird Tong (Gaelic: Aird Thunga) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Our applicators travel to Aird Tong for work on mastic joints. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage takes in 87 places.
If you need mastic sealing in HS2, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your building is just outside Aird Tong, we cover Tong (1 mile west), Upper Coll (1 mile north), Steinis (2 miles south), Newmarket (2 miles south-west) and Bac (2 miles north-east). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Aird Tong is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Around smaller places like Aird Tong, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
