Mastic sealing in Kyle of Lochalsh, done properly
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kyle of Lochalsh is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Kyle of Lochalsh, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

FAQs: Kyle of Lochalsh
Does a coastal location like Kyle of Lochalsh affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is Kyle of Lochalsh too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kyle of Lochalsh
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Kyle of Lochalsh, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
When to call us in Kyle of Lochalsh
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.

- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
