About our mastic sealing in Dunollie
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Dunollie carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and worn sealant at communal door frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Dunollie it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Dunollie is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Dunollie
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What else we do in Dunollie
Block-wide mastic in Dunollie
With the shore within about 1 mile, Dunollie counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Dunollie is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Older community buildings, Christ Church Dunollie among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you look after a block within reach of Oban station, 0.6 miles south of Dunollie, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Dunollie is about 1 mile north of Oban, in Argyll and Bute. Anywhere in PA34, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 124 places across Argyll and Bute fall within our area, including Dunollie. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area, about 61 miles away.
If you need mastic sealing in PA34 and PA37, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Streets here include Croft Road, Rowan Road and Castle Road. Being close to the A85, Dunollie is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Close to Dunollie, our area also takes in Oban (1 mile south), Ganavan (1 mile north), Dunbeg (2 miles north-east), Kilmore (4 miles south-east) and Connel (4 miles north-east). As one of the bigger centres in Argyll and Bute, Dunollie has a broad mix of commercial, public and industrial buildings, and we cover them all. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Near you in Dunollie
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Oban Inn, among other places. Dunollie’s nearest station is Oban station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Lorn and Islands Hospital (1.5 miles south) and Oban Museum (less than half a mile south). The countryside around Dunollie includes Lochan Dubh.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why act early in Dunollie
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. 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.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Do you need mastic sealing in Dunollie?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- No planned programme for sealant
Site managers at schools like Oban High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Questions we’re asked in Dunollie
Is Dunollie too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
We manage a building near Oban station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally 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. Where we can, we combine work around Dunollie with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
