Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

How we handle mastic sealing in Nairn
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is water getting in round frames after rain and worn sealant at communal door frames. Most enquiries from Nairn start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Scottish weather means outside mastic on blocks in a town like Nairn is planned around dry spells. Communal areas and inside work can fill the wetter days.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nairn
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Wet weather and frost are hard on failed joints in a Scottish town like Nairn, and the damage spreads from there. Resealing early keeps it a simple job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- One contact handling all your sites
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Nairn: questions and answers
Is Balmakeith Industrial Estate, near Nairn, within your area?
Yes, sites like Balmakeith Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Nairn. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Does the sea air around Nairn change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
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 entrances stay in use.

Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.

Mastic sealing around Nairn: how the place shapes the job
Nairn lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Nairn is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. We plan block programmes with some give for it
If your remit includes a building such as Nairn Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you are responsible for a building such as The High Church and Church Hall, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Common problems we fix in Nairn
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Buildings close to stations like Nairn station (to the south of Nairn) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance
