From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For premises in Barnhill, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- 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.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote

About our construction mastic in Barnhill
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Barnhill, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have cracks opening in caulked internal joints and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can put it right, on brick and block movement joints, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Barnhill? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the job changes by surface
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
Facades, frames and programmes in Barnhill
Barnhill sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The east of Scotland, where Barnhill is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Ashludie Hospital, 1.6 miles north-east of Barnhill, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors on a campus like Abertay University (4.6 miles west of Barnhill), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For contractors refurbishing units at places like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Barnhill, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Barnhill is about 5 miles east of Dundee, in Dundee. Any commercial site in Barnhill is covered. Our Dundee coverage takes in 28 places, large and small.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
Why it’s worth doing now in Barnhill
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Questions we’re asked in Barnhill
Do you cover business parks and estates near Barnhill, such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Barnhill. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ashludie Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
