Mastic packages on Craigiebuckler sites
Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Craigiebuckler. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Projects in Craigiebuckler follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
When a school such as Airyhall Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hotels like DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Aberdeen Treetops, under half a mile to the south-east of Craigiebuckler, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Hospital estates such as Woodend Hospital (0.9 miles north-west of Craigiebuckler) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Facade sealing in Craigiebuckler
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve discoloured or dirty facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Craigiebuckler, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What else we do in Craigiebuckler
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
Questions about Craigiebuckler
Does your area include sites such as Mastrick Industrial Estate, near Craigiebuckler?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Craigiebuckler, Mastrick Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Craigiebuckler?
Work on shared parts is usually 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.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you cover Craigiebuckler?
Yes. Craigiebuckler is in our area and the rest of Aberdeen, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Quoting for work in Craigiebuckler
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Craigiebuckler can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Aberdeen.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. In Craigiebuckler, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
