Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Fearn
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and draughts at frames across a block. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Fearn, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Fearn is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Questions we are asked in Fearn
Does the sea air around Fearn change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a smaller place like Fearn outside your area?
No. Places such as Fearn are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
From enquiry to sign-off
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. For work around Fearn, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Looking after buildings in and around Fearn
With the shore within about 3 miles, Fearn 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. Fearn is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you look after a block within reach of Fearn station, 1.5 miles to the west of Fearn, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Landlords with units on estates such as Cadboll Industrial Estate (2 miles east of Fearn) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
