About our construction mastic in Ellon

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. If you are dealing with snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ellon from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For a site around Ellon, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Ellon, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- 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.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open

FAQs: Ellon
Is a smaller place like Ellon outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Ellon?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you fit around our programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is settled with your site team and updated as the programme moves.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
New build and refits around Ellon
Projects in Ellon follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Ellon. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor at a hotel such as New Inn Hotel (under half a mile south of Ellon), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors at a school such as Ellon Academy, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Ellon is about 15 miles north of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. We send applicators to Ellon for mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Aberdeenshire, 179 places are covered, Ellon among them. For work in that direction, see our Aberdeen page.

Buildings on Market Hill, Firhill Square and Market Brae are within our area. Ellon sits on or close to the A920 and A948, useful when we plan access and materials. Just outside Ellon, we also work in Newburgh (4 miles south-east), Foveran (5 miles south), Pitmedden (5 miles south-west), Cultercullen (5 miles south-west) and Udny Station (5 miles south-west).

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
When to call us in Ellon
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Mastic snags holding up handover
When units on a site such as Ellon Business Park, 0.9 miles east of Ellon, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the existing material will be dealt with
How the job changes 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’ll confirm with the quote.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
