Planned mastic for Portree portfolios
Portree is within about 1 mile of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Portree gets more rain than eastern areas. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Landlords with units on estates such as Portree Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Portree) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. If your remit includes a building such as Portree High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Mastic sealing in Portree
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you are dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Portree, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Portree is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Portree clients
Does a coastal location like Portree affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is a smaller place like Portree outside your area?
No. Places such as Portree are covered as much as the big 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.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.

When to call us in Portree
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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed external movement joints
If you’re responsible for a building such as St Columba's Episcopal Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Quoting for work in Portree

- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
