About our mastic sealing in Arradoul
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 a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve complaints coming in block by block and communal area joints that look neglected, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Most enquiries from Arradoul start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around Arradoul, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
Work we carry out in Moray comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Arradoul: questions and answers
Is Arradoul off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is March Road Industrial Estate, near Arradoul, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Arradoul, March Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Mastic sealing in Arradoul: the local picture
Arradoul sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the east of Scotland, Arradoul gets less rain than the west coast. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on.
Landlords with units on estates such as March Road Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Arradoul) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Arradoul is about 1 mile south-west of Buckie, in Moray. Across the AB56 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Moray coverage takes in 59 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 47 miles away.
Commercial sites across AB56 are covered. Close to Arradoul, our area also takes in Buckie (1 mile north-east), Portgordon (1 mile west), Ianstown (2 miles north-east), Rathven (2 miles north-east) and Portessie (2 miles north-east). Further afield, our area takes in Elgin (12 miles west), Lossiemouth (12 miles west), Keith (8 miles south), Ashgrove (12 miles west), Portknockie (5 miles north-east) and Cullen (6 miles east). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so include the location in your enquiry.

Well-known places in the area include Findochty Castle (3.4 miles north-east) and Seafield Hospital (0.7 miles north).
When to call us in Arradoul
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Schools and community buildings such as Buckie High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For work around Arradoul, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
