About our commercial sealant contractors in Braeside
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. If you have shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down, we can put it right, on movement joints in walls and floors, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Braeside first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
A lot of what we do in Braeside is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
Braeside is part of one of Scotland’s big cities, where offices, shops, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Shop units under tenements can bring the property factor into the picture when the work touches shared parts.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Quoting for work in Braeside
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Braeside
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

What else we do in Braeside
When to call us in Braeside
Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain, so beads chalk, stiffen and lose their stretch. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
Refits at hotels like Palm Court Hotel, under half a mile to the north of Braeside, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Proof of insurance
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Site staff or a sealant 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions about Braeside
Does the sea air around Braeside change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Braeside, such as Garthdee Retail Park?
Yes, sites like Garthdee Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Braeside. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
Do you work in Braeside?
Yes. Braeside is in our area. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
That comes down to planning: 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.
Working on commercial sites near Braeside
Braeside lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. The area within 2 miles of Braeside holds plenty of hotels. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
A business with units at Garthdee Retail Park and Mastrick Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Premises within reach of Aberdeen station (to the north-east of Braeside) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Braeside is about 2 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Anywhere in AB15, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Braeside is one of 40 places in Aberdeen on our list for sealant joints.
Commercial sites across AB15 and AB10 are covered for sealant joints. Buildings on Gordon Road, Gordon Lane and New Fox Lane are within our area for sealant joints. If your building is just outside Braeside, we cover West End (1 mile north-east), Craigiebuckler (1 mile north-west), Garthdee (1 mile south-east), Broomhill (1 mile east) and Kaimhill (1 mile south-east). A short drive away, we cover Dyce (5 miles north), Tillydrone (3 miles north-east), Donside Village (3 miles north-east), Cove Bay (3 miles south-east), Danestone (3 miles north) and Bucksburn (3 miles north). Among the larger centres in Aberdeen is Braeside, and its commercial and public buildings are all within our area.
Landmarks near Braeside
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Hazlehead Park and Albyn School and the streets around them. Braeside’s nearest station is Aberdeen station, roughly 2 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Gordon Highlanders Museum (0.5 miles north) and Woodend Hospital (1.6 miles north-west). The countryside around Braeside includes Kincorth Hill and Rubislaw Quarry.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Scourers, blades and harsh products shorten a bead’s life; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. That turns a sealant job into something bigger.
