Mastic sealing for businesses in Lonemore

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. 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.
How we handle mastic sealing in Lonemore
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. Site teams most often ask us about a mix of products and colours from past repairs and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. For commercial sealant work in Lonemore, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Lonemore, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Mastic sealing around Lonemore: how the place shapes the job
Lonemore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. The west of Scotland, where Lonemore is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
If your remit includes a building such as Gairloch High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Lonemore is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Lonemore use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Highland. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Do you need mastic sealing in Lonemore?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Owners near Lonemore can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

Questions we are asked in Lonemore
Can being near the sea in Lonemore affect the sealant we need?
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.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Lonemore?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
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.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lonemore is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
