About our construction mastic in Dufftown
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner. Whoever orders the work in Dufftown, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller places such as Dufftown, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Moray. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dufftown
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Dufftown before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Read what affects the cost or our accreditations and insurance.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Do you need construction mastic in Dufftown?
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink and internal caulk in a moving joint is normally the first to crack. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Fife Arms Hotel (under half a mile south of Dufftown), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

- Their public liability cover
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee

Common questions from Dufftown clients
Is Dufftown too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Dufftown?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
