Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have draughts at frames across a block and failed external movement joints, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Brinian is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Brinian is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Blocks and managed buildings in Brinian
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Brinian. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Island jobs, Brinian among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. We group island buildings so each crossing covers as much as possible.
Near Brinian, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.
Brinian is about 10 miles north of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Brinian sits inside our coverage and the rest of the Orkney Islands, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places.

What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio

Building owners, agents and FMs in Brinian
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Your questions answered
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Brinian?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can being near the sea in Brinian affect the sealant we need?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Our quote form is another easy route.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Brinian
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Brinian, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Clear, fixed quotes

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
