Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Glenancross. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Mastic sealing in Glenancross: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Glenancross. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Glenancross is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
For agents with blocks near Morar station, which lies north-east of Glenancross, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Glenancross is in Highland. We send applicators to Glenancross for mastic joints. Glenancross is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for mastic joints.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout PH40, for business premises of every kind. With the B8008 nearby, Glenancross is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Just outside Glenancross, we also work in Morar (1 mile north-east), Arisaig (3 miles south), Mallaig (3 miles north), Ardvasar (7 miles north) and Armadale (8 miles north). For island and remote sites, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.
Local landmarks in Glenancross
For rail, the closest station is Morar station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre. A little further out are Land (3.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Lochan a' Chléirich.
Why deal with it now?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Quoting for work in Glenancross
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
What we’re called out for in Glenancross
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
Around Glenancross, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
Your questions answered
Our building in Glenancross is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you take on a block within reach of Morar station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
