Mastic sealing for Bieldside sites

Mastic sealing in Bieldside, done properly
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and communal area joints that look neglected. Whoever orders the work in Bieldside, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Housing associations and councils in Scotland’s cities manage large estates of flats and maisonettes. Planned mastic programmes can renew frame and external joints block by block, with residents given notice through the landlord.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Advice
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

What affects the price in Bieldside
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline

Frames, entrances and external joints in Bieldside
Six care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Bieldside. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings. Bieldside is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Owners of student blocks near Robert Gordon University (to the east of Bieldside) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation. For a school such as Cults Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Questions we are asked in Bieldside
Do you work in occupied care homes around Bieldside?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Bieldside?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
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.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
