About our mastic sealing in Boddam
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. If you have a mix of products and colours from past repairs and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Boddam first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Boddam, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Planned mastic for Boddam portfolios
With the shore within about 1 mile, Boddam counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. The east of Scotland, where Boddam is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Older community buildings, Parish Church Of Boddam among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For owners of several units at places like Dales Industrial Estate (1.6 miles north-west of Boddam), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Dales Industrial Estate, by Boddam?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Boddam, Dales Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Boddam too far out for you?
No. Places such as Boddam are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Any access equipment needed
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Boddam is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. 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 Boddam, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
