Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Strontian
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 work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about draughts at frames across a block and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Strontian? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around Strontian, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Planned mastic for Strontian portfolios
Strontian is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. Strontian is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
Owners near Strontian can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works on a timetable you set.
Do you need mastic sealing in Strontian?
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Older community buildings, Strontian Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Strontian. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.

Advice
FAQs: Strontian
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Strontian?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Does the sea air around Strontian change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Do you work in Strontian?
Yes. We cover Strontian and the rest of Highland, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
