About our mastic sealing in Viewhill
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and no planned programme for sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Viewhill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Viewhill, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Looking after buildings in and around Viewhill
Viewhill lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. The west of Scotland, where Viewhill is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Smithton Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles west of Viewhill, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Barn Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Viewhill is about 4 miles east of Inverness, in Highland. Any commercial site in Viewhill is covered. We work across 256 places in Highland. Aberdeen is covered too, around 78 miles from Viewhill.
If you need mastic sealing in IV2, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your building is just outside Viewhill, we cover Balloch (1 mile north), Culloden (1 mile west), Cradlehall (1 mile west), Newlands of Culloden (1 mile east) and Westhill (2 miles south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Inverness (4 miles west), Nairn (11 miles north-east), Merkinch (5 miles west), Dingwall (14 miles north-west), Hilton (4 miles south-west) and Alness (15 miles north). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Common questions from Viewhill clients
We manage a building near Inverness Airport station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is Smithton Industrial Estate, near Viewhill, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Viewhill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Smithton Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
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 we quote building by building or as a programme.
How many days will you need on site?
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. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Viewhill
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Places near Viewhill
What else we do in Viewhill
Do you need mastic sealing in Viewhill?
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of the Highlands and Islands, 4.6 miles to the west of Viewhill, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
What to look for in a quote
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For a building near Viewhill, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
