Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Footdee with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Footdee
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. If you’re dealing with old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded and stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms, we can help, on natural stone and brick, cladding panels and hotel bathrooms and public areas alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Footdee? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For work in and around Footdee, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What we are called out for in Footdee
Colour-matched sealant is normally requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: white silicone against dark cladding, grey against timber or a yellowed bead on stone. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges
- White or grey sealant that clashes with the finish
- Poorly tooled joints on visible finishes
Occupiers with premises at both Links Street Industrial Estate and Beach Boulevard Retail Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Custom-mixed sealant colours
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panels
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas

Footdee: questions and answers
Is Footdee too far out for you?
Not at all. Footdee is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Links Street Industrial Estate, by Footdee?
Yes. We cover Footdee and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Links Street Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can we see a sample before the full job?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme before the main run.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Sealant on show in Footdee’s commercial buildings
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Footdee. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Footdee is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Industrial estates such as Links Street Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north-west of Footdee, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. For premises near Aberdeen station, 1 mile west of Footdee, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Footdee is about 1 mile east of New Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Across the AB11 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Aberdeen coverage takes in 40 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
We take on colour-matched joints across the AB11 and AB24 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Among the streets we cover are Abbey Road, Pilot Square and South Square. Sites close to Footdee are covered too, including Torry (1 mile south-west), Balnagask (1 mile south), New Aberdeen (1 mile west), Tullos (1 mile south) and Altens (2 miles south). Further afield, our area takes in Dyce (6 miles north-west), Cults (4 miles south-west), Braeside (3 miles west), Donside Village (3 miles north-west), West End (3 miles west) and Cummings Park (3 miles north-west).
What’s near Footdee
We work on buildings around Robert Gordon's College, Union Terrace Gardens and Glenliver Bar, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Aberdeen station, roughly 1 mile west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Aberdeen Castle (0.8 miles north-west) and Aberdeen Science Centre (0.8 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Gallows Hill and Lower Lake.
Why deal with it now?
A standard colour is quicker to source, though not always right. Where joints are on show, choosing a better colour is typically worth it in how the finished space looks. Around smaller places like Footdee, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
