About our mastic sealing in Hamnavoe
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 window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are worn sealant at communal door frames and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hamnavoe is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Hamnavoe, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic usually fails first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why act early in Hamnavoe

Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

When to call us in Hamnavoe
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Near Hamnavoe, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How joint depth will be controlled
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.

Hamnavoe: questions and answers
Do you work on the island where Hamnavoe is?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Hamnavoe. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Hamnavoe portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
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.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
