How we handle mastic sealing in Liurbost
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and draughts at frames across a block, on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Liurbost 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.
Around Liurbost, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Liurbost
With the shore within about 2 miles, Liurbost counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Work on Liurbost has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. Photos of each elevation and a list of buildings let us plan the whole programme.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Liurbost, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.

FAQs: Liurbost
Will you price a mastic programme across our Liurbost portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Liurbost inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Liurbost. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
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.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share your contractor requirements early
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
