Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Banff can form part of a wider programme.
Construction mastic in Banff
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place and gives you a consistent finish across the job. If you are dealing with frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and cracks opening in caulked internal joints, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Banff first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a site around Banff, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Put any product change through the designer first
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short and keeps handover on track.

Banff: questions and answers
Is Banff too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Inverboyndie Industrial Estate, by Banff?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Banff, Inverboyndie Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
The specification decides the product, and we’ll raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Mastic packages on Banff sites
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Banff. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Banff warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
With historic properties like Duff House (to the south of Banff) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Banff Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Banff is about 16 miles east of Buckie, in Aberdeenshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Banff, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Banff is one of 179 places we cover in Aberdeenshire for mastic packages. Aberdeen is covered too, some 38 miles away.
We take on mastic packages across the AB45 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Streets here include Old Market Place, Whinhill Crescent and Addison Crescent, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Being close to the A97 and A98, Banff is straightforward for us to reach. Just outside Banff, we also work in Macduff (1 mile east), Whitehills (2 miles north-west), Ladysbridge (2 miles west), Boyndie (3 miles west) and Portsoy (6 miles west). A short drive away, we cover Turriff (9 miles south), Rosehearty (15 miles east) and Aberchirder (8 miles south-west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Local landmarks in Banff
In Banff, that means premises near The Market Arms and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Banff Castle (under half a mile east) and Chalmers Hospital (less than half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Longman Hill.
Signs you need construction mastic in Banff
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
Work at a hotel such as County Hotel, less than half a mile east of Banff, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they’ll work around occupants
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Where we can, we combine work around Banff with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
