How we handle mastic sealing in Strathy
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you have repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and draughts at frames across a block, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Strathy start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Strathy, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Strathy
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Strathy. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Strathy gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
For a building around Strathy, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait.
Strathy is about 17 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Anywhere in KW14, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Strathy is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for mastic joints.

Sites close to Strathy are covered too, including Portskerra (3 miles east), Melvich (3 miles east), Reay (8 miles east), Am Blàran Odhar (8 miles west) and Forss (13 miles east).

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Strathy is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Agree which areas must stay open

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
Common questions from Strathy clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Strathy portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Our building in Strathy is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you cover Strathy?
Yes. We cover Strathy, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
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, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Strathy
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Failed external movement joints
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Strathy, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
