Mastic sealing in Lochcarron
For blocks and buildings in Lochcarron and across Highland, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have a mix of products and colours from past repairs and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Lochcarron is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Lochcarron is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.

That goes into the plan alongside the quote.

Advice
Common questions from Lochcarron clients
Is Lochcarron too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lochcarron are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
We manage a building near Attadale station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Why act early in Lochcarron
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lochcarron before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline

Planned mastic for Lochcarron portfolios
Lochcarron sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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. Lochcarron is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
For a school such as Lochcarron School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older community buildings, Lochcarron Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For agents with blocks near Attadale station, 1.2 miles to the south-east of Lochcarron, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
