What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Construction mastic in Forfar
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Forfar, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have mastic snags holding up handover and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Forfar start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Weather windows matter for outside mastic in a town like Forfar: joints must be dry and above the product’s minimum temperature. We agree the plan with the site team and adjust as the forecast changes, with internal sealant filling the rest.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move.
Cost factors for mastic packages
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Facades, frames and programmes in Forfar
In Forfar, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Forfar is in the east of Scotland, which is drier 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.
Hotels like Royal Hotel (to the west of Forfar) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. When units on a site such as Forfar Retail Park (under half a mile west of Forfar) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Older buildings in the area around Forfar, such as Glamis Castle, 4.7 miles west of Forfar, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
Forfar is about 12 miles north of Dundee, in Angus. Forfar sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Angus, 65 places are covered, Forfar among them. We also cover Dundee, some 12 miles away.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If you manage more than one building in Forfar, they can be grouped. Give us access times for each.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site

Questions about Forfar
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Forfar Infirmary, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can the mastic package for our job in Forfar follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
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.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
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 work to your programme. Tell us the sequence and we will plan applicators around it.
