Mastic sealing in Hill of Fearn
Across Hill of Fearn and the rest of Highland, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Most enquiries from Hill of Fearn start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Hill of Fearn, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why deal with it now?
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 Hill of Fearn before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: 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.

Questions about Hill of Fearn
Is Hill of Fearn off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Our building in Hill of Fearn is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Hill of Fearn with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.

Advice
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
