Mastic sealing in Corran, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. The enquiries we see most involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Corran, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Corran, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Corran with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
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, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Looking after buildings in and around Corran
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Corran. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. Being in the west of Scotland, Corran gets more rain than eastern areas. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Older community buildings, Ardgour Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Corran, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
Corran is in Highland. Anywhere in PH33, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page, about 71 miles away.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout PH33, for business premises of every kind. Nearby places we also cover include Clo Mhuillin (1 mile south-west), Inchree (1 mile east), Kentallen (3 miles south), Duror (5 miles south) and Ballachulish (5 miles south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Fort William (8 miles north-east), Caol (10 miles north-east), Inverlochy (9 miles north-east) and Kinlochmore (11 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you call 01277 525 020 or email us.

Corran: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Corran affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Corran too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Corran. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
