Mastic sealing near Auchtertyre
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Auchtertyre
Auchtertyre 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; plan inspections around that. Auchtertyre is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Lochalsh Business Park, under half a mile to the south-east of Auchtertyre, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Trustees of buildings like Lochalsh Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Auchtertyre
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and damp patches beside frames, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Auchtertyre tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Auchtertyre is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Auchtertyre is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Related advice
Do you need mastic sealing in Auchtertyre?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you look after a block within reach of Duncraig station, which lies north-west of Auchtertyre, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Is Lochalsh Business Park, near Auchtertyre, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Auchtertyre, Lochalsh Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Auchtertyre off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How many days will you need on site?
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will you come and look before quoting?
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.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
