How mastic sealing works in Aberdeenshire

Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks.

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, and each area is checked before we leave it.

We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
Failed mastic is removed completely.
Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
Buildings are completed in turn.

What affects the price in Aberdeenshire

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What’s near Peterhead

For owners and agents in Aberdeenshire

Across Aberdeenshire, from Peterhead, Inverurie and Fraserburgh outwards, managing agents, landlords and housing associations look after blocks, mixed-use buildings and estates. Window and door perimeters and external joints on them need renewing as the mastic ages.

Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, Aberdeenshire among them. Longer journeys are planned so each job is done in one go if at all possible. Aberdeenshire includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. Product choice and joint preparation matter more there.

Peterhead: Owners near Peterhead can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme. For owners of several units at places like Blackhouse Industrial Estate (0.6 miles north-west of Peterhead), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Surface by surface

Window and door perimeters on blocks

We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.

Communal areas

Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies and tend to fail first.

Cost factors for mastic joints

Before we quote, we look at:

The product specified
Joint width, depth and condition
Location, for remote and island sites
Removal of failed or old sealant

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Before you send an enquiry

However big the job, these details speed things up:

The site address and postcode
Clear photographs of the problem areas
Any dates the work must fit around
Specification clauses that apply

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

General trades versus a specialist

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

When it isn’t the sealant

Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

Glazing that needs replacing
Substrate edges that need repairing first
Leaks from above rather than through a joint

Keeping the joints sound

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:

Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Group repairs into a planned programme
Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early

Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.

Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.

Common questions from Aberdeenshire clients

How many days will you need on site?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?

We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.

How do you reach windows on upper floors?

We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we will confirm the approach in the quote.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

Can you quote from photographs?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

How do we ask for a quote?

There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
