Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Mastic sealing in Ullapool
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and movement joints with sealant missing. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ullapool from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Ullapool, 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. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What else we do in Ullapool
Looking after buildings in and around Ullapool
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ullapool. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Ullapool is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Ullapool old parish church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For owners of several units at places like Mill Street Industrial Estate, less than half a mile north-east of Ullapool, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If your remit includes a building such as Ullapool School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Ullapool is in Highland. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Ullapool, we can help, as we do across Highland. Ullapool is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.
If you need mastic sealing in IV26, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Market Street, Ladysmith Street and Fraser Place and the roads nearby. You’ll find Ullapool on or near the A893. Close to Ullapool, our area also takes in Achiltibuie (10 miles north-west), Laide (14 miles west), Aultbea (16 miles west), Àird (17 miles west) and Kinlochewe (21 miles south).

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ullapool before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Questions we are asked in Ullapool
Is Ullapool too far out for you?
No. Places such as Ullapool are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Mill Street Industrial Estate, near Ullapool?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ullapool, Mill Street Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
