Common questions from Old Struan clients
Is a smaller place like Old Struan outside your area?
Not at all. Old Struan is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Old Struan?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
It depends on the specification, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
Construction mastic in Old Struan, done properly
Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Old Struan, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. Most enquiries involve mastic snags holding up handover and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Old Struan is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Old Struan that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.

Contractors’ notes for Old Struan
In Old Struan, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Old Struan 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. External dates keep a little give.
Around Old Struan, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation. Sites around Old Struan get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
Old Struan is about 26 miles north-west of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Perth and Kinross. We cover commercial sites throughout Old Struan. Across Perth and Kinross, 114 places are covered, including Old Struan. Dundee is covered too, some 42 miles away.

Just outside Old Struan, we also work in Old Blair (4 miles east), Bridge of Tilt (4 miles east), Blair Atholl (4 miles east), Trinafour (5 miles west) and Moulin (9 miles east).

Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Old Struan can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Old Struan is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Cost factors for mastic packages
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure so packing or adjustment by the installer comes first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
