Mastic sealing for Badachro sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
About our mastic sealing in Badachro
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Badachro first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around Badachro, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

FAQs: Badachro
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Badachro?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Badachro 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. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Badachro 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.
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Badachro, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together. Near Badachro, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Badachro. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
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.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Badachro. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
