- Substrate edges that need repairing first

Mastic sealing in Greenigoe
Across Greenigoe and the rest of the Orkney Islands, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Greenigoe it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Greenigoe, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Greenigoe: questions and answers
Will you travel to Greenigoe on the island?
Yes, Greenigoe is within the area we cover. We work across every Scottish council area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Does the sea air around Greenigoe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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 work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building near Greenigoe, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Mastic sealing in Greenigoe: the local picture
Greenigoe sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first. For an island location such as Greenigoe, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. A list of buildings lets us cover them all on one trip where we can.
Around Greenigoe, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. Wherever your building is in or near Greenigoe, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now.
Greenigoe is about 3 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Any commercial site in Greenigoe is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 51 places across the Orkney Islands fall within our area, including Greenigoe.
We take on mastic joints across the KW15 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. We also cover Blackhill (2 miles north), Kirkwall (3 miles north-east), Kirbister (3 miles west), Grimbister (4 miles north-west) and Orphir (5 miles west) for mastic joints. Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

A little further out are Kirkwall Castle (2.8 miles north-east) and Orkney Museum (2.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Wideford Hill and Lochs of Griffyelt.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Greenigoe
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Greenigoe
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Greenigoe, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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 fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
