Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration.
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.
About our facade sealing in Nis
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are new sealant peeling off old mastic and damp patches beside frames after rain. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Nis? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site around Nis, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Nis: questions and answers
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Nis?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Nis inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes, Nis is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll be honest about which it is.

What else we do in Nis
Why deal with it now?
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 early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Nis before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

Do you need facade sealing in Nis?
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
School extensions, at buildings such as Lionel School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Nis with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Facade sealing in Nis: the local picture
Nis is within about 2 miles of the coast. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Projects in Nis follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
On any site in or around Nis, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
