About our mastic sealing in Port Appin
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. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and water getting in round frames after rain, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Port Appin, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Port Appin, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

What we’re called out for in Port Appin
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Owners near Port Appin can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Common questions from Port Appin clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Port Appin portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Port Appin off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

Surface by surface
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Planned mastic for Port Appin portfolios
Port Appin 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. Being in the west of Scotland, Port Appin gets more rain than eastern areas. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
For a building around Port Appin, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait.

Honest limits

- Glazing that needs replacing

Advice
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
