How we handle mastic sealing in North Roe
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and movement joints with sealant missing, on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in North Roe it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like North Roe is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Frames, entrances and external joints in North Roe
North Roe 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. For an island location such as North Roe, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Send photographs and addresses so every building can be covered on as few trips as possible.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Methodist Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Owners near North Roe can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
North Roe is in the Shetland Islands. Looking for mastic sealing in North Roe? We can help, as we do across the Shetland Islands. North Roe is one of 63 places we cover in the Shetland Islands.
Anyone looking for mastic sealing in ZE2 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. For a building on Mid Gard, Anniesland and Bayview or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic joints. Nearby places we also cover include Ollaberry (5 miles south), Hogaland (6 miles south), Urafirth (8 miles south-west), Hillswick (9 miles south-west) and Braehoulland (10 miles south-west). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead.

Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. North Roe can form part of a wider programme across the Shetland Islands.
Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows usually 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 North Roe. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Common questions from North Roe clients
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around North Roe?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can you take on a job in North Roe, on the island?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as North Roe. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
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.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in North Roe
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Log resealing dates block by block
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it.

- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
