About our mastic sealing in Stoer
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Stoer? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places such as Stoer, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Stoer
With the shore within about 1 mile, Stoer counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. Stoer is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Around Stoer, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
Stoer is about 38 miles east of Stornoway, in Highland. Anywhere in IV27, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places.
If you need mastic sealing in IV27, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Stoer
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Failed external movement joints
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Damp patches beside frames
For a building around Stoer, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait.
Questions to ask before you book

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs: Stoer
Is a smaller place like Stoer outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does a coastal location like Stoer affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Stoer. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.

Quoting for work in Stoer
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
