About our mastic sealing in Edderton
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. The enquiries we see most involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, across balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Edderton 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.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Edderton is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Edderton: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Edderton change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Edderton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Edderton is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Why act early in Edderton
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Edderton. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Blocks and managed buildings in Edderton
Edderton 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, and they deserve more regular inspection. Edderton is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Older community buildings, Church of Scotland Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Tain station, 4.7 miles to the east of Edderton, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Edderton is about 21 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. Our applicators travel to Edderton for work on mastic joints. Edderton is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for mastic joints.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Edderton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
