Mastic sealing in Kilmaluag
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kilmaluag is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How we handle mastic sealing in Kilmaluag
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Kilmaluag carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and draught complaints from residents or tenants. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kilmaluag first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Kilmaluag, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after buildings in and around Kilmaluag
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Kilmaluag. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Being in the west of Scotland, Kilmaluag gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Near Kilmaluag, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing. Owners near Kilmaluag can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Your questions answered
Is Kilmaluag too far out for you?
Not at all. Kilmaluag is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Kilmaluag portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
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 it can be arranged.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. For buildings near Kilmaluag, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
