Mastic sealing in Port na Craig, done properly
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Port na Craig? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Port na Craig, 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 behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Port na Craig: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Pitlochry station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Port na Craig off your patch?
No. Places such as Port na Craig are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What we’re called out for in Port na Craig
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Failed external movement joints
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Pitlochry station, under half a mile north of Port na Craig, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the price in Port na Craig
Before we quote, we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
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.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.

- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
