Your questions answered
Is Kentallen too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like North Ballachulish Industrial Estate, close to Kentallen?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kentallen, North Ballachulish Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Kentallen
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kentallen first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Kentallen is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Kentallen can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Kentallen. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
What we’re called out for in Kentallen
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Look out for the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Damp patches beside frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Owners near Kentallen can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their public liability cover
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Planned mastic for Kentallen portfolios
Kentallen 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, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Kentallen gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you own or manage units on a site such as North Ballachulish Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles north-east of Kentallen, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Kentallen is in Highland. Kentallen sits inside our coverage and the rest of Highland, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, including Kentallen. Sites around Glasgow have their own page, roughly 68 miles from Kentallen.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout PA38. Just outside Kentallen, we also work in Duror (2 miles south-west), Clo Mhuillin (3 miles north), Inchree (3 miles north), Corran (3 miles north) and Ballachulish (4 miles east). Nearby towns on our patch include Fort William (11 miles north-east), Caol (13 miles north-east), Inverlochy (12 miles north-east) and Kinlochmore (11 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you call 01277 525 020 or email us.

Why act early in Kentallen
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Kentallen. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

- One number for every site we cover
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
