Mastic sealing in Inverallochy
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve no planned programme for sealant and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Most enquiries from Inverallochy start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around Inverallochy, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Inverallochy as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Mastic sealing in Inverallochy: the local picture
Inverallochy sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Inverallochy is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. We plan block programmes with some give for it
If you are responsible for a building such as Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Inverallochy is about 3 miles east of Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire. Inverallochy sits inside our coverage and the rest of Aberdeenshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
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.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Inverallochy
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For owners of several units at places like Kessock Road Industrial Estate (2.6 miles west of Inverallochy), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Proof of insurance
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints

Common questions from Inverallochy clients
Is Inverallochy off your patch?
No. Places such as Inverallochy are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around Inverallochy change the choice of sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Inverallochy before they leak.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Inverallochy, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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 as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
