About mastic sealing in Aberdeen

Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and draught complaints from residents or tenants.

When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building.

We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

For owners and agents in Aberdeen

Across Aberdeen, from Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill outwards, managing agents, landlords and housing associations look after blocks, mixed-use buildings and estates. Mastic around frames, doors and on external joints wears out in time.

In Scotland, managing agents for tenements are often called property factors, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. Aberdeen includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.

Aberdeen: Site managers at schools like Aberdeen Grammar School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Trustees of buildings like Rutherford Church And Church Hall can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

For managing agents and facilities managers

When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.

Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Aberdeen. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Leave it or put it right?

Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget.

Questions to ask before you book

The terms of the workmanship guarantee
How they handle RAMS and site documents
Their public liability cover
Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?

Looking after the joints

To get the most from the new sealant:

Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Group repairs into a planned programme

Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.

Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

General trades versus a specialist

Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

What sets the cost

What shapes the price:

Joint width, depth and condition
Working within restricted access windows
Location, for remote and island sites
The total length or number of joints

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

What we need to price the job

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:

Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Anything awkward about access or site hours
Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Any specification or named product

Aberdeen: questions and answers

Which sealant will you use?

Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Is any job too small?

We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.

Will you come and look before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.

Do you cover Aberdeen?

Yes. Aberdeen is in our area. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

How long does a typical visit take?

That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.

Does the weather affect the work?

It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Can you reseal a whole block or estate?

We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
