Mastic sealing in Arisaig
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Arisaig carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are water getting in round frames after rain and worn sealant at communal door frames. Most enquiries from Arisaig 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.
Travel to smaller places like Arisaig is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Arisaig, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
When to call us in Arisaig
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Older community buildings, Roman Catholic Chapel among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Arisaig before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Looking after buildings in and around Arisaig
Arisaig sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Arisaig gets more rain than eastern areas. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
For agents with blocks near Arisaig station, less than half a mile east of Arisaig, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Arisaig (Gaelic: Àrasaig) is in Highland. Arisaig sits inside our coverage and the rest of Highland, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Arisaig among them.
If you need mastic sealing in PH39, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Nearby places we also cover include Glenancross (3 miles north), Morar (4 miles north), Mallaig (7 miles north), Ardvasar (10 miles north) and Armadale (11 miles north) for mastic joints. Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Common questions from Arisaig clients
Is Arisaig off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for a block close to Arisaig station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
