Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Hilton. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

About our mastic sealing in Hilton
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you have patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Hilton from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Hilton, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Planned mastic for Hilton portfolios
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Hilton. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. Being in the west of Scotland, Hilton gets more rain than eastern areas. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Schools and community buildings such as Dornoch Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Owners near Hilton can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
Hilton is about 22 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Hilton, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Hilton.
Commercial sites across IV25 are covered for mastic joints. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Birchwood and Embo Street and the roads nearby. Nearby places we also cover include Embo (1 mile north-east), Dornoch (1 mile south), Camore (2 miles south-west), Skelbo Muir (2 miles north-west) and Littleferry (3 miles north) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Tain (6 miles south), Invergordon (15 miles south), Brora (10 miles north-east), Cromarty (15 miles south) and Balintore (11 miles south). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.

Common questions from Hilton clients
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Hilton?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is a smaller place like Hilton outside your area?
No. Places such as Hilton are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
