Mastic sealing in Reraig: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Reraig counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Reraig gets more rain than eastern areas. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Lochalsh Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Buildings close to stations like Kyle of Lochalsh station, 3.3 miles to the west of Reraig, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Reraig is in Highland. Our applicators travel to Reraig for work on mastic joints. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small.

Common problems we fix in Reraig
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
For owners of several units at places like Lochalsh Business Park, 1.5 miles to the east of Reraig, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What site paperwork they can supply
Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

Why it’s worth doing now in Reraig
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Reraig. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- CSCS-carded applicators
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing

Questions about Reraig
Is Reraig too far out for you?
Not at all. Reraig is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Kyle of Lochalsh station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.

Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out.
