Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Longman
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and no planned programme for sealant, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Longman? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Longman, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Longman. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.

FAQs: Longman
We manage a building near Inverness station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does the sea air around Longman change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
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 to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Longman. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.

Advice
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Longman. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Other services in Longman
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
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.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
