Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Inverasdale
Across Inverasdale and the rest of Highland, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Site teams most often ask us about communal area joints that look neglected and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Inverasdale it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like Inverasdale, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Common problems we fix in Inverasdale
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Failed external movement joints
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For a building around Inverasdale, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid

Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.

Blocks and managed buildings in Inverasdale
Inverasdale is within about 1 mile of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Inverasdale is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Around Inverasdale, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Your questions answered
Is Inverasdale too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Inverasdale is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Inverasdale?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long will the new sealant 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.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How a job runs

We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Inverasdale, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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.
