How we handle mastic sealing in Bunessan
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bunessan from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Bunessan, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions we are asked in Bunessan
Does the sea air around Bunessan change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a smaller place like Bunessan outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. For buildings near Bunessan, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Bunessan
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed external movement joints
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Around Bunessan, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Planned mastic for Bunessan portfolios
With the shore within about 1 mile, Bunessan counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Bunessan is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Older community buildings, Kilvickeon Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Bunessan is in Argyll and Bute. Anywhere in PA67, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Argyll and Bute, 124 places are covered, including Bunessan.
Postcode districts covered here: PA67. For a building on Millbrae and Ardmeanach View or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic joints. Nearby places we also cover include Ardtun (1 mile north-east), Fionnphort (5 miles west), Baile Mòr (6 miles west), Ballygown (14 miles north) and Upper Kilchattan (16 miles south) for mastic joints. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Near you in Bunessan
Nearby you’ll also find Ross Of Mull Historical Centre (under half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Bunessan include Cruachan Mìn and Loch Assapol.
Owners, agents and contractors
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.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Bunessan is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Related advice
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
