Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Tomatin
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tomatin tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Tomatin, 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Tomatin: questions and answers
Will you price a mastic programme across our Tomatin portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Tomatin?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
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.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Tomatin. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Tomatin
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Tomatin, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
