Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Where we can, we combine work around Tannadice with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site

Facade sealing in Tannadice, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Tannadice, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a site around Tannadice, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common problems we fix in Tannadice
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
For a contractor at a hotel such as Finavon Hotel (1.4 miles east of Tannadice), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end to the correct depth.
Sites and facades in and around Tannadice
Tannadice is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External dates keep a little give. Building work in Tannadice comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
New wings at hospitals like Whitehills Hospital (to the south of Tannadice) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away

Questions we’re asked in Tannadice
Would you work within a site like Whitehills Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can the mastic package for our job in Tannadice follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Quoting for work in Tannadice
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
