About our mastic sealing in Clo Mhuillin
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Clo Mhuillin, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For buildings around Clo Mhuillin, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common problems we fix in Clo Mhuillin
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- No planned programme for sealant
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Around Clo Mhuillin, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Where we can, we combine work around Clo Mhuillin with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Related advice
Your questions answered
Can being near the sea in Clo Mhuillin affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Clo Mhuillin?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Blocks and managed buildings in Clo Mhuillin
With the shore within about 1 mile, Clo Mhuillin counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Clo Mhuillin is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Ardgour Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Clo Mhuillin can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
