Common problems we fix in Newtonmore
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
For agents with blocks near Newtonmore station, less than half a mile to the south-east of Newtonmore, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Proof of insurance
About our mastic sealing in Newtonmore
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Newtonmore, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller Scottish places like Newtonmore, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Newtonmore. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?

When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
