Need mastic sealing in Auchmithie?
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Auchmithie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits

About our mastic sealing in Auchmithie
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and a mix of products and colours from past repairs. Whoever orders the work in Auchmithie, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Auchmithie, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
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’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Auchmithie
Is Auchmithie off your patch?
Not at all. Auchmithie is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Wardmill Industrial Estate, close to Auchmithie?
Yes. We cover Auchmithie and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Wardmill Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
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.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Mastic sealing around Auchmithie: what changes locally
Auchmithie sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Auchmithie is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you own or manage units on a site such as Wardmill Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Auchmithie, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Older community buildings, Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For agents with blocks near Arbroath station (3.3 miles south-west of Auchmithie), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Auchmithie is about 3 miles north-east of Arbroath, in Angus. Across the DD11 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Angus, 65 places are covered, Auchmithie among them. Sites around Dundee have their own page, roughly 19 miles from Auchmithie.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout DD11, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Ethie Street and Kirkbank or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for mastic joints.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Auchmithie. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Auchmithie
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Auchmithie before they leak.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
