Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ardchattan
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and water getting in round frames after rain, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Ardchattan it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Ardchattan, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

FAQs: Ardchattan
Will you take on a block within reach of Connel Ferry station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Our building in Ardchattan is near the coast: does that change the 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.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.

At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Mastic sealing in Ardchattan: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ardchattan. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Ardchattan is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Trustees of buildings like Ardchattan Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Ardchattan. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
