Why it’s worth doing now in Dalmore
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows usually get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Dalmore before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Across Dalmore and the rest of Highland, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and no planned programme for sealant, across communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Searching for sealant specialists in Dalmore? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Blocks and managed buildings in Dalmore
Dalmore lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Being in the west of Scotland, Dalmore gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Rosskeen Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For agents with blocks near Alness station (under half a mile north-west of Dalmore), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Dalmore is about 15 miles north of Inverness, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Dalmore, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Dalmore among them.
Business premises anywhere in IV17 are within our area. Dalmore sits on or close to the A9, useful when we plan access and materials. Just outside Dalmore, we also work in Alness (1 mile north-west), Invergordon (3 miles east), Cullicudden (3 miles south), Saltburn (4 miles east) and Evanton (4 miles south-west). Bigger towns within reach include Inverness (15 miles south), Cradlehall (15 miles south), Tain (11 miles north-east), Merkinch (14 miles south), Dingwall (9 miles south-west) and Dornoch (15 miles north-east). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.
Local landmarks in Dalmore
Dalmore has its own railway station: Alness station. Nearby you will also find Contullich Castle (2 miles north-west) and County Community Hospital (3.3 miles east). The countryside around Dalmore includes Cnoc Fyrish and Loch Achnacloich.
What we are called out for in Dalmore
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Failed external movement joints
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
For owners of several units at places like Teaninich Industrial Estate, 1 mile to the west of Dalmore, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their public liability cover
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

Yes. We cover Dalmore and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Teaninich Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote for a block close to Alness station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. 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 Dalmore with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- 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.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Quotes

Advice
Doing it in-house
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
