About our mastic sealing in Invergordon
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts at frames across a block, across communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Most enquiries from Invergordon 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.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Invergordon is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions we’re asked in Invergordon
Our building in Invergordon is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you quote for a block close to Invergordon station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. For work around Invergordon, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- 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
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What affects the price in Invergordon
These are the things that shape the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any specification or named product
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Looking after buildings in and around Invergordon
Invergordon sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. The west of Scotland, where Invergordon is, gets more rain than the east. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Property owners at sites such as Castle Avenue Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north-east of Invergordon) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Invergordon is about 13 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. Across the IV18 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small.
Anyone looking for mastic sealing in IV18 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Among the streets we cover are High Street, David Sutherland Court and Castle Avenue. Main routes into Invergordon include the B817, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. If your building is just outside Invergordon, we cover Saltburn (1 mile north-east), Dalmore (3 miles west), Alness (3 miles west), Barbaraville (3 miles north-east) and Kilmuir (4 miles north-east). A short drive away, we cover Nairn (13 miles south-east), Cradlehall (15 miles south), Tain (9 miles north-east), Merkinch (15 miles south), Dingwall (11 miles south-west) and Dornoch (14 miles north). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What’s near Invergordon
We work on buildings around Commercial Bar and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Invergordon itself: Invergordon station. A little further out are Invergordon Castle (0.6 miles north-west) and County Community Hospital (0.7 miles east). The countryside around Invergordon includes Loch Achnacloich and Udale Bay RSPB reserve.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Invergordon. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Invergordon
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Invergordon station (to the south-west of Invergordon) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
