How we handle construction mastic in Strichen
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. Site teams most often ask us about inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, across window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Strichen? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
External sealing around Strichen depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
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.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
Common questions from Strichen clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Maud Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Strichen off your patch?
No. Places such as Strichen are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We are fully insured for public liability.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
External and internal frame perimeters, caulking where it’s specified, sanitary silicone, kitchen joints and snagging before handover. We price to the specification and drawings.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Brick and block movement joints

Signs you need construction mastic in Strichen
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
New wings at hospitals like Maud Hospital, 4.9 miles south of Strichen, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their public liability cover
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Surface by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
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, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Strichen, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
