Mastic sealing for Corpach sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Mastic sealing in Corpach
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and failed external movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Corpach tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Corpach is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Why act early in Corpach
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Corpach: questions and answers
Our building in Corpach is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Blar Mhor Industrial Estate, near Corpach, within your area?
Yes, sites like Blar Mhor Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Corpach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
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 tell you how we’d approach it.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you cover Corpach?
Yes. Sites across Corpach are covered.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What affects the price in Corpach
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
For owners and agents in Corpach
Corpach lies within about 2 miles of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Corpach is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
If your remit includes a building such as Lochaber High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Corpach station (to the south-east of Corpach) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Property owners at sites such as Blar Mhor Industrial Estate (1.7 miles east of Corpach) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
