Mastic sealing in Ruisgarry
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Ruisgarry? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Ruisgarry, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
For owners and agents in Ruisgarry
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ruisgarry counts as a coastal location. 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. Ruisgarry is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block normally needs attention first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Around Ruisgarry, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. Wherever your building is in or near Ruisgarry, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now.

Questions we’re asked in Ruisgarry
Is Ruisgarry inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Ruisgarry. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ruisgarry portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Quoting for work in Ruisgarry

- The site address and postcode

Why deal with it now?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Around smaller places like Ruisgarry, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
