Our commercial sealant contractors service in IV18
Some sealants used before 2000 can contain asbestos, so older stock needs a check first. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and external facade joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes and black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off.
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

What’s near Invergordon
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Invergordon and Commercial Bar. Invergordon has its own railway station: Invergordon station. Other landmarks nearby include Invergordon Castle (0.6 miles north-west) and County Community Hospital (0.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Loch Achnacloich and Udale Bay RSPB reserve.
Where commercial joints are in IV18
In IV18, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Invergordon, Saltburn and Milton. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to what has been specified, on every job. On the coastal side of IV18, sea-facing elevations usually show failed joints first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.
Invergordon: If you have premises on more than one site, say at Castle Avenue Industrial Estate and High Street Invergordon Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Refits at hotels like Marine Hotel, less than half a mile south of Invergordon, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
What affects the price in IV18
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photos of the problem areas
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
Building owners, agents and FMs in IV18
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. IV18 can form part of a wider programme across Highland.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
What we are called out for in IV18
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. That typically means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. Replacing it like for like rarely holds.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
FAQs: IV18
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and we will confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you work in IV18?
Yes. We cover IV18, and you can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.
