Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Strathmartine
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work so it helps to sequence elevations with some flexibility. Internal areas can typically carry on while the outside waits. If you are dealing with internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Strathmartine? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
For a site around Strathmartine, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Work we carry out in Angus comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Put any product change through the designer first
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
In wet areas, a weak sanitary joint shows up quickly once the building is occupied. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels, and the repair falls into the defects period. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
Questions about Strathmartine
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Kings Cross Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Strathmartine too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. Around smaller places like Strathmartine, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
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 and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Why us?
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
