Ferryhill: questions and answers
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Robert Gordon University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in Ferryhill?
Normally the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. Send details and photos, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you work in Ferryhill?
Yes. We take on work across Ferryhill.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Sites and facades in and around Ferryhill
Ferryhill is within about 2 miles of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The east of Scotland, where Ferryhill is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
School extensions, at buildings such as Ferryhill Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Albyn Hospital (0.6 miles north-west of Ferryhill) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Ferryhill is about 1 mile south-east of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Ferryhill can call on us for mastic packages. Across Aberdeen, 40 places are covered, Ferryhill among them.

When to call us in Ferryhill
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
On a campus such as Robert Gordon University, 0.8 miles to the north of Ferryhill, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year.
Before you book anyone

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Leave it or put it right?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area typically clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Cost factors for mastic packages
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:

Building owners, agents and FMs in Ferryhill
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and we clear our waste as we work. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
