About our mastic sealing in Bundalloch
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you have movement joints with sealant missing and draughts at frames across a block, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Bundalloch? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Do you need mastic sealing in Bundalloch?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Older community buildings, St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

What else we do in Bundalloch
Planned mastic for Bundalloch portfolios
Bundalloch is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Bundalloch is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Buildings close to stations like Stromeferry station (4.8 miles north-west of Bundalloch) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Property owners at sites such as Ardelve Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles south-west of Bundalloch, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Bundalloch is in Highland. We send applicators to Bundalloch for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Bundalloch is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.
Business premises anywhere in IV40 are within our area for mastic joints. We also cover Carndu (1 mile south-west), Dornie (1 mile south-west), Auchtertyre (4 miles west), Inverinate (5 miles south-east) and Strome Ferry (5 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Bundalloch. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Bundalloch is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Track which buildings were done and when
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Around smaller places like Bundalloch, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Questions about Bundalloch
Can you quote for a block close to Stromeferry station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our building in Bundalloch is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you work in Bundalloch?
Yes. We cover Bundalloch and the rest of Highland. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
