Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Kinlochewe
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. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. Most enquiries involve complaints coming in block by block and communal area joints that look neglected, on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kinlochewe 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.
In smaller Scottish places like Kinlochewe, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Around smaller places like Kinlochewe, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Kinlochewe: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Kinlochewe?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Kinlochewe too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does the weather affect the work?
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
