Mastic sealing for businesses in Staxigoe
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Staxigoe
With the shore within about 1 mile, Staxigoe counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Staxigoe is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Buildings close to stations like Wick station (to the south-west of Staxigoe) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Property owners at sites such as Lochshell Business Park, 1.8 miles west of Staxigoe, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Common questions from Staxigoe clients
Is Staxigoe too far out for you?
No. Places such as Staxigoe are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around Staxigoe change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. 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.
Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
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.
Commercial clients in Staxigoe

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Staxigoe. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.

Advice
What we are called out for in Staxigoe
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Look out for the following:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Schools and community buildings such as Wick High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they’ll work around occupants
What happens if it’s left?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Staxigoe, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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.
