About construction mastic in Aberdeen

Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Aberdeen, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. Most enquiries involve failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection, across cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints.

Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

  1. We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
  2. You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
  3. You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
  4. We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
  5. Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
  6. We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

New build and refurbishment in Aberdeen

Across Aberdeen, refurbishment brings as many facade and perimeter joints as new build: replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs in places such as Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill. Each junction between new and existing materials needs the right sealant, primer and backing.

Our area covers every Scottish council area, Aberdeen included. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. Aberdeen includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Aberdeen: For contractors on a campus like University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus, 0.5 miles to the west of Aberdeen, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Hotels like Skene House Apartment Hotel - Whitehall (less than half a mile south-east of Aberdeen) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

For managing agents and facilities managers

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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

Different surfaces, different methods

Kitchens and utility areas

Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used.

Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms

In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.

Keeping the joints sound

A few simple habits keep the new joints working:

  • Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
  • Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
  • Note which sealant went where at handover
  • Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done

The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.

Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.

Cost factors for mastic packages

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

  • Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • How much existing material needs removing
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Before you send an enquiry

The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:

  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • Access details, including height
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.

Common problems we fix in Aberdeen

On construction sites, joints typically fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, and the joint has to be redone.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
  • Early adhesion failures on new external joints
  • A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
  • Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone

FAQs: Aberdeen

What will the job cost?

We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Is any job too small?

Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

How do we ask for a quote?

There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.

What hours do you work?

The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.

Which sealant will you use?

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.
