Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Baile a' Mhanaich
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Most enquiries involve damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Baile a' Mhanaich 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.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Baile a' Mhanaich is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
