Mastic sealing for Wick sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
About our mastic sealing in Wick
For blocks and buildings in Wick and across Highland, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and complaints coming in block by block. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wick first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Wick, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Wick as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

FAQs: Wick
We manage a building near Wick station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Does a coastal location like Wick affect which sealant is used?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
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.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Do you cover Wick?
Yes. Wick is in our area and the rest of Highland, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Wick
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For owners of several units at places like Wick Retail Park (0.7 miles south-west of Wick), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- The named product and why it was chosen
Frames, entrances and external joints in Wick
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Wick. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Wick is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. We plan block programmes with some give for it
For a school such as Wick High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Buildings close to stations like Wick station, less than half a mile west of Wick, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
