Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Askomill
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Askomill? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Travel to smaller places like Askomill is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Planned mastic for Askomill portfolios
Askomill is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Askomill is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days.
With historic buildings such as Tirfergus House (to the south-west of Askomill) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Askomill should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Askomill is in Argyll and Bute. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Askomill, we can help, as we do across Argyll and Bute. Across Argyll and Bute, 124 places are covered, including Askomill. We also cover Glasgow, some 59 miles away.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Track which buildings were done and when
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Quoting for work in Askomill
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
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.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email us. You can also send details through our quote form.

What we are called out for in Askomill
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Property owners at sites such as Hazelburn Business Park (0.6 miles west of Askomill) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
