Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Seafield
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Seafield, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. Site teams most often ask us about frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, across floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Seafield it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Sites near smaller places like Seafield can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:

- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

What else we do in Seafield
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
If a joint is damaged after sealing, flag it early. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We raise them during our first walk of the area.
Why it’s worth doing now in Seafield
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption and saves applicators coming back again and again. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Seafield. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Seafield, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- 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.
- 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
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Common questions from Seafield clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St. Ellen’s Private Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Seafield too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Seafield is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens in one fixed quote.
