Mastic sealing in Inverugie
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 throughout. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Inverugie, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For buildings around Inverugie, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Inverugie, 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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Common questions from Inverugie clients
Does your area include sites such as Blackhouse Industrial Estate, near Inverugie?
Yes. We cover Inverugie and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Blackhouse Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does the sea air around Inverugie change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.

Planned mastic for Inverugie portfolios
Inverugie sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The east of Scotland, where Inverugie is, gets less rain than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Programmes allow for that
For owners of several units at places like Blackhouse Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles east of Inverugie, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Owners near Inverugie can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Inverugie. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
