How we handle construction mastic in West End
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and brick and block movement joints. Most enquiries from West End start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Quoting for work in West End
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Questions we’re asked in West End
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Albyn Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in West End?
Work on shared parts is typically agreed by the owners, often through a property factor. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are 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.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Contractors’ notes for West End
West End is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in West End follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Hotels like Earl's Court Hotel (to the north-west of West End) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. When units on a site such as Garthdee Retail Park (1.1 miles south-east of West End) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
West End is about 1 mile south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. We send applicators to West End for mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 40 places in Aberdeen.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in West End, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Failed sealant in a shared building in West End can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Do you need construction mastic in West End?
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
School extensions, at buildings such as Albyn School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
