Mastic sealing in Creag Ghoraidh, done properly
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and movement joints with sealant missing. Most enquiries from Creag Ghoraidh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller Scottish places like Creag Ghoraidh, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we are called out for in Creag Ghoraidh

- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Wherever your building is in or near Creag Ghoraidh, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Creag Ghoraidh. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Block-wide mastic in Creag Ghoraidh
Creag Ghoraidh sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first; plan inspections around that. The west of Scotland, where Creag Ghoraidh is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Creag Ghoraidh, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Questions we are asked in Creag Ghoraidh
Do you work on the island where Creag Ghoraidh is?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as Creag Ghoraidh. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Creag Ghoraidh?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
