Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
About our mastic sealing in Imeraval
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Imeraval tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Imeraval, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Imeraval
With the shore within about 1 mile, Imeraval counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. Imeraval is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block normally needs attention first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
For owners of several units at places like Port Ellen Business Park, 0.7 miles to the east of Imeraval, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Imeraval is in Argyll and Bute. If you are looking for mastic sealing in Imeraval, we can help, as we do across Argyll and Bute. Imeraval is one of 124 places we cover in Argyll and Bute for mastic joints. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area.

Nearby places we also cover include Port Ellen (1 mile east), Ardbeg (4 miles east), Bowmore (9 miles north), Port Charlotte (10 miles north-west) and Bun Othan (12 miles west).

Quoting for work in Imeraval
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
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.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Imeraval is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints

Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.

We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Imeraval
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Damp patches beside frames
If you’re responsible for a building such as St John's Church (Port Ellen), frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
FAQs: Imeraval
Is Imeraval too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Imeraval are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Our building in Imeraval is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
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.
