Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Poolewe
For blocks and buildings in Poolewe and across Highland, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and open joints in brickwork or panels, across external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints.

The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Blocks and managed buildings in Poolewe
Poolewe sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. Being in the west of Scotland, Poolewe gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Wherever your building is in or near Poolewe, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now. Around Poolewe, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
Poolewe is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Poolewe can call on us for mastic joints. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
Postcode districts covered here: IV22. For a building on Cliffton, Sydney's Way and St Maelrubha Close or nearby, we can quote for mastic joints. Sites close to Poolewe are covered too, including Gairloch (4 miles south-west), Inverasdale (4 miles north-west), Lonemore (5 miles south-west), Aultbea (5 miles north) and Àird (5 miles north).

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Poolewe. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Poolewe. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
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.

Take a look at how commercial sealant jobs are priced or how we’re accredited.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Questions we’re asked in Poolewe
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Poolewe?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Does a coastal location like Poolewe affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually 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 will give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
