Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
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. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Questions about Charlestown of Aberlour
Is a hospital such as Fleming Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can the mastic package for our job in Charlestown of Aberlour follow the site programme?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Where it’s specified, yes to the tested detail. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we’ll tell you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Charlestown of Aberlour, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

Common problems we fix in Charlestown of Aberlour
On construction sites, joints usually fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, and the joint has to be redone.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Fleming Hospital (less than half a mile south-east of Charlestown of Aberlour), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
