Construction mastic for Brocketsbrae sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
About our construction mastic in Brocketsbrae
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. We work on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic snags holding up handover and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Brocketsbrae, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Brocketsbrae is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Brocketsbrae
Will you take on work at estates like Gateside Industrial Estate, close to Brocketsbrae?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Brocketsbrae, Gateside Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Brocketsbrae too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.

Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use.

- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
