Facade sealing for Fraserburgh sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Fraserburgh
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. We work on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Fraserburgh, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
External sealant on a Scottish site depends on the weather, and Fraserburgh is no exception: faces need to be dry and inside the product’s working temperature band. We agree the plan with the site team and adjust as the forecast changes, with internal sealant filling the rest.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

FAQs: Fraserburgh
Can you work at a site such as Kessock Road Industrial Estate, by Fraserburgh?
Yes, sites like Kessock Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Fraserburgh. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Could you schedule work at a campus like North East Scotland College - Fraserburgh Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Jobs in Fraserburgh are planned with two things in mind: the forecast for external joints and the building’s hours for internal ones. Send photos or drawings and we will quote and plan to suit.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What else we do in Fraserburgh
Do you need facade sealing in Fraserburgh?
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
When a school such as Fraserburgh Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Building and refurbishing in Fraserburgh
With the shore within about 1 mile, Fraserburgh counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Fraserburgh has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Hospital estates such as Fraserburgh Hospital (under half a mile north-west of Fraserburgh) 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. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Kessock Road Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles to the east of Fraserburgh, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
