Mastic sealing in Munlochy
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and damp patches beside frames, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Munlochy is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Munlochy, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Munlochy
Munlochy lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Munlochy is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block normally needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Knockbain Munlochy Parish Church and Boundary Wall are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Munlochy is about 6 miles north of Inverness, in Highland. We send applicators to Munlochy for mastic joints. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.

Questions we’re asked in Munlochy
Is Munlochy too far out for you?
No. Places such as Munlochy are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Munlochy?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

Other services in Munlochy
Do you need mastic sealing in Munlochy?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
With historic buildings such as Old Allangrange House, 1.9 miles to the south-west of Munlochy, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Munlochy should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Comparing quotes

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
