About our construction mastic in Strachan
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Strachan, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. The enquiries we see most involve sealant knocked or painted over by other trades and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, across window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Strachan? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Strachan that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Contractors’ notes for Strachan
Strachan is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Strachan warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
On a healthcare site such as Glen O'Dee Hospital, which lies north of Strachan, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Sites around Strachan get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Strachan. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

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.

FAQs: Strachan
Is Strachan off your patch?
No. Places such as Strachan are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Strachan?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
The programme sets the job. Tell us the sequence and we’ll plan applicators around it, sealing as areas become ready.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens in one fixed quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Why act early in Strachan
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
