Construction mastic in Auchterderran
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Auchterderran, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Auchterderran, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Auchterderran, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Auchterderran. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. We prime where the manufacturer specifies, and seal only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range.
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Cardenden Industrial Park, near Auchterderran?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Auchterderran, Cardenden Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a hospital such as Whyteman's Brae Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
The specification decides the product. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
Why deal with it now?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. For buildings near Auchterderran, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
