Mastic sealing in Clivocast, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. Whoever orders the work in Clivocast, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Clivocast is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What affects the price in Clivocast
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Clivocast: questions and answers
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Clivocast?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Clivocast inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Clivocast. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
For owners and agents in Clivocast
Clivocast is within about 1 mile of the coast. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. For an island location such as Clivocast, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Photos of each elevation and a list of buildings let us plan the whole programme.
If you are responsible for a building such as Uyeasound Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Clivocast is in the Shetland Islands. Our applicators travel to Clivocast for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places, large and small.

From enquiry to sign-off

- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
