Mastic sealing in Evie
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Evie from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Evie is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Orkney Islands. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs near Evie are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Questions we’re asked in Evie
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Evie?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Does the sea air around Evie change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Mastic sealing in Evie: the local picture
Evie is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. The east of Scotland, where Evie is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions.
Around Evie, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
Evie is about 11 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Looking for mastic sealing in Evie? We can help, as we do across the Orkney Islands. Our the Orkney Islands coverage takes in 51 places, large and small.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout KW17. With the A966 nearby, Evie is straightforward for us to reach. Nearby places we also cover include Tingwall (3 miles south-east), Settiscarth (5 miles south), Brinian (5 miles east), Abune-the-Hill (5 miles west) and Norseman (5 miles south).

Quoting for work in Evie
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
