Mastic sealing in Inverarity
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about communal area joints that look neglected and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Inverarity from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For buildings around Inverarity, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Inverarity is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

What we are called out for in Inverarity
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Trustees of buildings like Inverarity Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

Common questions from Inverarity clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Inverarity portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Which documents can you supply for work in Inverarity?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
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.
Is Inverarity in your area?
Yes. We cover Inverarity, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
