Mastic sealing in Torridon
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and movement joints with sealant missing. Most enquiries from Torridon start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Torridon is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Torridon. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- 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.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

What affects the price in Torridon
What shapes the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Torridon: questions and answers
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Torridon?
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 Torridon change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. 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.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
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.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Planned mastic for Torridon portfolios
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Torridon. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first. Being in the west of Scotland, Torridon gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Around Torridon, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Do you need mastic sealing in Torridon?
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- No planned programme for sealant
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
Wherever your building is in or near Torridon, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
