Mastic sealing in Toogs
Across Toogs and the rest of the Shetland Islands, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have no planned programme for sealant and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Toogs, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Toogs, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions we are asked in Toogs
Does the sea air around Toogs change the choice of 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.
Can you take on a job in Toogs, on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Toogs included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Planned mastic for Toogs portfolios
Toogs lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. For an island location such as Toogs, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Send photos and addresses so every building can be covered on as few trips as possible.
Older community buildings, Burra Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Toogs is in the Shetland Islands. We cover Toogs and the rest of the Shetland Islands, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 63 places in the Shetland Islands.
If you need mastic sealing in ZE2, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your building is just outside Toogs, we cover Hamnavoe (1 mile north), Scalloway (4 miles north-east), Cunningsburgh (4 miles south-east), Bremirehoull (4 miles south-east) and Aithsetter (5 miles south-east). A short drive away, we cover Lerwick (7 miles north-east), Sound (7 miles north-east) and Sandwick (7 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Why act early in Toogs
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Toogs, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Jobs near Toogs are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Toogs
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Around Toogs, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We normally work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
