Mastic sealing in Inverinate
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Inverinate
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have damp patches beside frames and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Inverinate start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around Inverinate, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Inverinate
Mastic sealing in Inverinate: the local picture
Inverinate 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. Inverinate is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
Around Inverinate, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Kintail Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Inverinate is in Highland. Inverinate sits inside our coverage and the rest of Highland, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, including Inverinate.

Questions we are asked in Inverinate
Is a smaller place like Inverinate outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Inverinate?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. 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.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Inverinate, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
