Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. 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. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and water getting in round frames after rain. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Bràigh na h-Aoidhe, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions about Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
Will you take on work at estates like Parkend Industrial Estate, close to Bràigh na h-Aoidhe?
Yes, sites like Parkend Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Bràigh na h-Aoidhe. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a coastal location like Bràigh na h-Aoidhe affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out 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 will price the work to it.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
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. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building

Advice
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
