Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Mastic sealing in Broadsea
Different joints need different sealants. 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. Most enquiries involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints. Most enquiries from Broadsea start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Broadsea, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Aberdeenshire. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

When to call us in Broadsea
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Failed external movement joints
Trustees of buildings like St Peter's Episcopal Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What affects the price in Broadsea
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Mastic sealing around Broadsea: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Broadsea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Being in the east of Scotland, Broadsea gets less rain than the west coast. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you own or manage units on a site such as Kessock Road Industrial Estate (1.1 miles south-east of Broadsea), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. For a school such as Fraserburgh Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For work around Broadsea, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Get a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Questions about Broadsea
Our building in Broadsea is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can work in a care setting near Broadsea go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
