Mastic sealing in Inver
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near Inver, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed 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.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected

- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal

- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Common questions from Inver clients
Is a smaller place like Inver outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Our building in Inver 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.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Looking after buildings in and around Inver
Inver sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Inver is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Block programmes are built with that in mind
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Inver, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together. Buildings close to stations like Fearn station, 4 miles south-west of Inver, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Inver is about 16 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. Any commercial site in Inver is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small.
Postcode districts covered here: IV20. Buildings on Main Street, Front Street and New Street are within our area for mastic joints. Nearby places we also cover include Hill of Fearn (4 miles south-west), Portmahomack (4 miles east), Fearn (4 miles south-west), Hilton of Cadboll (4 miles south) and Loans of Tullich (4 miles south). Further afield, our area takes in Tain (5 miles west), Alness (15 miles south-west), Dornoch (6 miles north-west), Invergordon (13 miles south-west), Golspie (11 miles north) and Brora (13 miles north). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Inver, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
