Mastic sealing in Kinlochmore
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and failed external movement joints, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Kinlochmore, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Kinlochmore, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic usually fails first.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Block-wide mastic in Kinlochmore
Kinlochmore 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; plan inspections around that. Being in the west of Scotland, Kinlochmore gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Kinlochleven Business Park, under half a mile to the south-east of Kinlochmore, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Kinlochmore, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
Kinlochmore is in Highland. Our applicators travel to Kinlochmore for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Kinlochmore is one of 256 places we cover in Highland for mastic joints. Sites around Glasgow have their own page, about 65 miles away.
We take on mastic joints across the PH50 postcode area, whatever the building. Among the streets we cover are Kearan Road, Lochaber Road and Lochaber Crescent. Close to Kinlochmore, our area also takes in Kinlochleven (1 mile south), Glencoe (6 miles south-west), Ballachulish (7 miles south-west), Blarmachfoldach (7 miles north-west) and Fort William (9 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and shows what was done.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Common questions from Kinlochmore clients
Does the sea air around Kinlochmore change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Kinlochmore too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.

Estate-wide resealing programmes

Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Around smaller places like Kinlochmore, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
