What we’re called out for in Bingham
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Complaints coming in block by block
Property owners at sites such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre, 0.5 miles south-west of Bingham, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
About our mastic sealing in Bingham
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you are dealing with failed external movement joints and draughts at frames across a block, we can help. Searching for sealant specialists in Bingham? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Scotland’s city blocks are largely sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite, and replacement windows set into those walls need a perimeter sealant that won’t mark the stone.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What affects the price in Bingham
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Commercial clients in Bingham
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Bingham. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Work on a big city site in Scotland typically involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
