Mastic sealing in Ardrishaig
For blocks and buildings in Ardrishaig and across Argyll and Bute, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can help, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Most enquiries from Ardrishaig start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller Scottish places like Ardrishaig, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Ardrishaig
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed external movement joints
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
For owners of several units at places like Kilmory Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Ardrishaig, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
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 it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Kilmory Industrial Estate, near Ardrishaig?
Yes, sites like Kilmory Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Ardrishaig. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Ardrishaig too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Ardrishaig
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

Blocks and managed buildings in Ardrishaig
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ardrishaig counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first; plan inspections around that. Being in the west of Scotland, Ardrishaig gets more rain than eastern areas. 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.
Schools and community buildings such as Lochgilphead High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
