Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Claddach Kyles change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you work on the island where Claddach Kyles is?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Claddach Kyles. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Claddach Kyles is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- 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 where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Agree which areas must stay open

What else we do in Claddach Kyles
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
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.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote

- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
