How we handle mastic sealing in Fort Augustus
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. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are communal area joints that look neglected and leaks at window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Fort Augustus is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Fort Augustus is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building near Fort Augustus, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.

Before we start on site

Advice
Fort Augustus: questions and answers
Is Fort Augustus too far out for you?
No. Places such as Fort Augustus are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Fort Augustus?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

- External wall and movement joints
For owners and agents in Fort Augustus
Fort Augustus is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
Schools and community buildings such as Kilchuimen Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Fort Augustus before they leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Quoting for work in Fort Augustus
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Common problems we fix in Fort Augustus
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- No planned programme for sealant
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Fort Augustus, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
