How we handle mastic sealing in Strome Ferry
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you are dealing with brittle perimeter mastic across a building and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Strome Ferry first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Strome Ferry is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What affects the price in Strome Ferry
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Common problems we fix in Strome Ferry
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
If you look after a block within reach of Stromeferry station, under half a mile east of Strome Ferry, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.

Common questions from Strome Ferry clients
Is Strome Ferry too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can being near the sea in Strome Ferry affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
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.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Advice
Commercial clients in Strome Ferry
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
