About our mastic sealing in Aberfoyle
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Aberfoyle carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Aberfoyle? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller Scottish places like Aberfoyle, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Planned mastic for Aberfoyle portfolios
Aberfoyle is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Around Aberfoyle, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. Older community buildings, St Mary's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We normally work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Quoting for work in Aberfoyle
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Group repairs into a planned programme
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aberfoyle
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
