Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Inchree
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and complaints coming in block by block. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Inchree first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Inchree, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Questions about Inchree
Is Inchree too far out for you?
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.
Does the sea air around Inchree change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building near Inchree, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Track which buildings were done and when
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 it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Planned mastic for Inchree portfolios
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Inchree. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. Inchree is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Owners near Inchree can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
Inchree is in Highland. Our applicators travel to Inchree for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, including Inchree. Glasgow is covered too, around 70 miles from Inchree.

If your building is just outside Inchree, we cover Corran (1 mile west), Clo Mhuillin (1 mile west), Kentallen (3 miles south), Ballachulish (5 miles south-east) and Glencoe (5 miles south-east).

Do you need mastic sealing in Inchree?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Failed external movement joints
- Water getting in round frames after rain
If you own or manage units on a site such as North Ballachulish Industrial Estate (2.8 miles south-east of Inchree), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
