External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Where we can, we combine work around West Darlochan with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- 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.

Your questions answered
Is West Darlochan too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as West Darlochan are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does the sea air around West Darlochan change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
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 inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Block-wide mastic in West Darlochan
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from West Darlochan. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do; plan inspections around that. West Darlochan is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Older buildings near West Darlochan, from historic houses such as Tirfergus House (to the south of West Darlochan) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Kilchenzie Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
West Darlochan is in Argyll and Bute. We cover commercial sites throughout West Darlochan, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. West Darlochan is one of 124 places in Argyll and Bute on our list for mastic joints. Glasgow is covered too, around 62 miles from West Darlochan.
Commercial sites across PA28 are covered for mastic joints. For a building on Islay View and Sound of Kintyre or nearby, we can quote for mastic joints. Close to West Darlochan, our area also takes in Drumlemble (3 miles south), Campbeltown (4 miles south-east), Askomill (4 miles south-east), Kilkerran (5 miles south-east) and Southend (10 miles south). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
