New build and refits around Keith
A 2-mile radius around Keith takes in several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Projects in Keith follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
School extensions, at buildings such as Keith Grammar School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Ugie House Hotel, under half a mile to the north-east of Keith, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Keith is about 9 miles south of Buckie, in Moray. Across the AB55 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Moray coverage takes in 59 places, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, about 41 miles away.
We take on facade joints across the AB55 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Streets here include Church Road, Station Road and Turner Street, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Main routes into Keith include the A95 and A96, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Nearby places we also cover include Newmill (1 mile north), Drummuir (5 miles south-west), Cairnie (5 miles south-east), Ruthven (5 miles south-east) and Fochabers (7 miles north-west) for facade joints.

How we handle facade sealing in Keith
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Keith. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. The enquiries we see most involve water coming in around window frames and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, across window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Keith first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Keith that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Keith
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. For buildings near Keith, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What we are called out for in Keith
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Extensions at sites like Turner Memorial Hospital, less than half a mile west of Keith, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Keith, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Questions about Keith
Can you work on a hospital site such as Turner Memorial Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Keith?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you provide access for facade work?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
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.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
