General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic sealing in Blackdog
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is worn sealant at communal door frames and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Blackdog it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Blackdog is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan, building by building.
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Common questions from Blackdog clients
Can you work at a site such as Blackdog Industrial Centre, by Blackdog?
Yes. We cover Blackdog and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Blackdog Industrial Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Dyce station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
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.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
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.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.

Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. The east of Scotland, where Blackdog is, gets less rain than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. We plan block programmes with some give for it

Why deal with it now?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Blackdog, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
