Facade sealing in Kintore, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and leaks at window and door perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kintore? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In smaller places such as Kintore, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Commercial clients in Kintore
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kintore can form part of a wider programme.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Kintore. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Facade sealing around Kintore: how the place shapes the job
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Kintore warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. The east of Scotland, where Kintore is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. We programme around it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Midmill Business Park, 0.9 miles south-east of Kintore, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hotels like Kintore Arms Hotel (less than half a mile north-east of Kintore) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Extensions at sites like Inverurie Hospital (3.1 miles north of Kintore) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Kintore is about 4 miles south of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. We send applicators to Kintore for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 179 places in Aberdeenshire. For work in that direction, see our Aberdeen page.
We take on facade joints across the AB51 postcode area, whatever the building. Among the streets we cover are Henderson Park, Mcfadden Park and Castlepark Grove. Kintore sits on or close to the A96 and B977, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. If your building is just outside Kintore, we cover Cottown (1 mile west), Kinellar (2 miles south-east), Port Elphinstone (3 miles north), Kinmuck (3 miles north-east) and Garioch (4 miles north). Bigger towns within reach include Westhill (6 miles south), Ellon (14 miles north-east), Banchory (13 miles south-west), Portlethen (14 miles south-east), Kemnay (4 miles west) and Oldmeldrum (7 miles north). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you call 01277 525 020 or email us.

Kintore: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Midmill Business Park, by Kintore?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kintore, Midmill Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Kintore too far out for you?
Not at all. Kintore is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
