Mastic sealing in Saltburn, done properly
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you have failed external movement joints and complaints coming in block by block, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Saltburn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Saltburn, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Mastic sealing around Saltburn: points for this area
Saltburn sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. The west of Scotland, where Saltburn is, gets more rain than the east. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Programmes allow for wet days.
For owners of several units at places like Cromarty Firth Industrial Park, which lies north-west of Saltburn, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Saltburn is about 13 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. We cover commercial sites throughout Saltburn, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small.
Business premises anywhere in IV18 are within our area for mastic joints. For a building on Inglis Road, Murray Road and Cadboll Road or nearby, we can quote for mastic joints. Just outside Saltburn, we also work in Invergordon (1 mile south-west), Barbaraville (2 miles north-east), Kilmuir (3 miles north-east), Dalmore (4 miles west) and Davidston (4 miles south-east). Further afield, our area takes in Nairn (13 miles south-east), Cradlehall (15 miles south), Tain (8 miles north-east), Merkinch (15 miles south), Dingwall (12 miles south-west) and Alness (4 miles west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Common questions from Saltburn clients
Is Saltburn too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Cromarty Firth Industrial Park, by Saltburn?
Yes, sites like Cromarty Firth Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Saltburn. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Saltburn. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Saltburn is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Other services in Saltburn
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Common problems we fix in Saltburn
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- No planned programme for sealant
Buildings close to stations like Invergordon station (1.3 miles south-west of Saltburn) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Quoting for work in Saltburn
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- How accessible the joints are
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
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 requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
