Mastic packages on Tillydrone sites
With the shore within about 2 miles, Tillydrone counts as a coastal location. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Tillydrone warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Units on estates such as St Machar Industrial Estate (under half a mile south of Tillydrone) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Royal Cornhill Hospital, 1.1 miles to the south of Tillydrone, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Northern Hotel, 0.6 miles to the south of Tillydrone, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Tillydrone
Managing agents and owners in Tillydrone ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and damp patches beside frames after rain, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tillydrone first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: neutral-cure products that won’t mark the masonry, primed where the maker says, in a colour that sits with it.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames

Common questions from Tillydrone clients
Our building in Tillydrone is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can work at a site such as University of Aberdeen fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you cover Tillydrone?
Yes. We cover Tillydrone. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.

What affects the price in Tillydrone
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. City jobs in Tillydrone normally need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
