Mastic sealing in Hogaland
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Hogaland carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hogaland, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Hogaland is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Hogaland, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows

For owners and agents in Hogaland
With the shore within about 1 mile, Hogaland counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Work on Hogaland has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Send photos and addresses so every building can be covered on as few trips as possible.

Questions about Hogaland
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Hogaland?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Will you travel to Hogaland on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Hogaland included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.
Do you need mastic sealing in Hogaland?
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Ollaberry Church and Churchyard with Monument are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Before you book anyone
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What else we do in Hogaland
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
