Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Inbhir Aora
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and draught complaints from residents or tenants, across communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Inbhir Aora is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Inbhir Aora, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Questions about Inbhir Aora
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Inbhir Aora?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Inbhir Aora outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. For buildings near Inbhir Aora, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after buildings in and around Inbhir Aora
Inbhir Aora is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Inbhir Aora is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
With historic buildings such as Inveraray Castle (to the north of Inbhir Aora) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Inbhir Aora should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Common problems we fix in Inbhir Aora
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If you’re responsible for a building such as St. Malieu Hall, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Questions to ask before you book
