Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

About our construction mastic in East Haven
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and internal decorators’ caulk, and what we are called in for most is a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner and mastic snags holding up handover. A single leaking joint is often how a building in East Haven first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
External sealing around East Haven depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Building and refurbishing in East Haven
East Haven lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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. East Haven is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We programme around it with the site team.
On a healthcare site such as Hospital of St John the Baptist, which lies north-east of East Haven, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Dundee Road Retail Park (2.9 miles north-east of East Haven), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. When a school such as Carnoustie High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
East Haven is about 4 miles south-west of Arbroath, in Angus. We cover commercial sites throughout East Haven, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Angus coverage takes in 65 places, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Dundee, about 12 miles away.

Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. We use the specified perimeter sealant, normally a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, with backing rod in deeper gaps.

Common questions from East Haven clients
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Hospital of St John the Baptist?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does the sea air around East Haven change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can you work to our specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Quoting for work in East Haven
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. East Haven can form part of a wider programme across Angus.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Use the product the specification names
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
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, and a delay to handover. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
