Mastic sealing in Auchinleck, done properly
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Auchinleck carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and no planned programme for sealant. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Auchinleck tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Auchinleck, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Auchinleck
Auchinleck is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
With historic buildings such as Dumfries House, 1.4 miles south-west of Auchinleck, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Auchinleck should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you own or manage units on a site such as Thistle Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the south-east of Auchinleck, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Questions about Auchinleck
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Auchinleck station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Auchinleck too far out for you?
No. Places such as Auchinleck are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
