Need mastic sealing in Inverlochy?
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Inverlochy
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and failed external movement joints, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Inverlochy from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Inverlochy, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Block-wide mastic in Inverlochy
Inverlochy sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The west of Scotland, where Inverlochy is, gets more rain than the east. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Fort William Retail Park, 0.5 miles to the east of Inverlochy, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. For agents with blocks near Fort William station (0.5 miles south-west of Inverlochy), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. For a school such as Lochaber High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Inverlochy is about 32 miles north-east of Oban, in Highland. Anywhere in PH33, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Inverlochy among them. For work in that direction, see our Glasgow page.
Postcode districts covered here: PH33 for mastic joints. If your site is on Croft Road, North Road and Nevis Road or close by, send details and we’ll quote for mastic joints. Just outside Inverlochy, we also work in Taobh Lochaidh (1 mile north), Fort William (1 mile south-west), Caol (1 mile north), Banbhaidh (1 mile north) and Corpach (2 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Common questions from Inverlochy clients
Is Inverlochy too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does the sea air around Inverlochy change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
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 you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
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 we quote building by building or as a programme.
