Common questions from Braemar clients
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Braemar?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Braemar?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Braemar
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. For commercial sealant work in Braemar, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Braemar, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Braemar
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Braemar Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Building owners, agents and FMs in Braemar
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Quoting for work in Braemar
Before we quote, we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
