Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Lacasaidh
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. The enquiries we see most involve draught complaints from residents or tenants and complaints coming in block by block, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Lacasaidh from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Lacasaidh, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lacasaidh before they leak.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Lacasaidh
Lacasaidh lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Island jobs, Lacasaidh among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Send photos and addresses so every building can be covered on as few trips as possible.
Older community buildings, Kinloch Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Lacasaidh is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We cover commercial sites throughout Lacasaidh. Lacasaidh is one of 87 places we cover in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Common problems we fix in Lacasaidh
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Look out for the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Failed external movement joints
- No planned programme for sealant
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Lacasaidh, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Lacasaidh, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site

Related advice
Your questions answered
Will you travel to Lacasaidh on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Lacasaidh included. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Does the sea air around Lacasaidh change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
