Mastic sealing in Croy
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, across window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Croy first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For buildings around Croy, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Croy: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Inverness Airport station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Will you take on work at estates like Dalcross Industrial Estate, close to Croy?
Yes. Our area takes in Croy and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Dalcross Industrial Estate included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Mastic sealing in Croy: the local picture
Croy sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. 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 Croy is, gets more rain than the east. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you look after a block within reach of Inverness Airport station (1.8 miles north-west of Croy), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you are responsible for a building such as Croy Parish Church Of Scotland, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Croy is about 7 miles south-west of Nairn, in Highland. Any commercial site in Croy is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Croy is one of 256 places we cover in Highland. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, roughly 75 miles from Croy.
Business premises anywhere in IV2 are within our area. Among the streets we cover are Fraser Lane, MacKinnon Drive and Miller Road. Sites close to Croy are covered too, including Newlands of Culloden (3 miles south-west), Ardersier (3 miles north), Balloch (4 miles south-west), Viewhill (4 miles south-west) and Cawdor (4 miles east). Nearby towns on our patch include Inverness (9 miles south-west), Nairn (7 miles north-east), Cradlehall (5 miles south-west), Merkinch (9 miles west), Hilton (8 miles south-west) and Alness (15 miles north-west). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.
Around Croy
The nearest railway station is Inverness Airport station, roughly 1.8 miles north-west. Nearby you’ll also find Highland Aviation Museum (2.5 miles north-west) and Kilravock Castle (1.2 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Loch of the Clans.
Common problems we fix in Croy
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
If you own or manage units on a site such as Dalcross Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles north-west of Croy, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

What else we do in Croy
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Croy is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Commercial clients in Croy
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Track which buildings were done and when
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
