Construction mastic across Tullos
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
How we handle construction mastic in Tullos
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers with projects in Tullos, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you have internal caulk splitting as the building dries out and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and internal decorators’ caulk alike. Most enquiries from Tullos start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Tullos is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why act early in Tullos
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. 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.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Tullos. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.

FAQs: Tullos
Does the sea air around Tullos change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Would you work within a site like Albyn Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specified product is what goes in. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We’re also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What else we do in Tullos
Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and keeps the snag list down.
Contractors’ notes for Tullos
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Tullos. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Tullos is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External dates keep a little give.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Aberdeen Altens Hotel, which lies south of Tullos, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. School extensions, at buildings such as Torry Academy, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like East Tullos Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the north-east of Tullos, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Tullos is about 1 mile south-east of Ferryhill, in Aberdeen. Anywhere in AB12, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 40 places in Aberdeen.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
