Construction mastic in Tomatin, done properly
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. Most enquiries involve snag items on joints that need redoing before handover and inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Tomatin? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Sites near smaller places like Tomatin can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Facades, frames and programmes in Tomatin
Projects in Tomatin follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Being in the east of Scotland, Tomatin gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We programme around it with the site team.
Around Tomatin, as anywhere, a facade joint depends on its sizing, backing rod and preparation. On any site in or around Tomatin, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
Questions about Tomatin
Is Tomatin off your patch?
No. Places such as Tomatin are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs 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 Tomatin?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Sealing in poor conditions risks adhesion failure so it’s better to wait.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Cost factors for mastic packages
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. New beads should be left to cure before cleaning or decorating nearby.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Around smaller places like Tomatin, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
