Mastic sealing in Broomhill
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. If you are dealing with no planned programme for sealant and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broomhill from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Broomhill can form part of a wider programme across Aberdeen.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks and managed buildings in Broomhill
With the shore within about 3 miles, Broomhill counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The east of Scotland, where Broomhill is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Schools and community buildings such as Albyn School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Landlords with units on estates such as Garthdee Retail Park, 0.5 miles to the south of Broomhill, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Broomhill is about 2 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. We cover commercial sites throughout Broomhill, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Broomhill is one of 40 places we cover in Aberdeen.
Commercial sites across AB10, AB15 and AB12 are covered. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Ruthrie Road, Norfolk Road and Kaimhill Road and the roads nearby. Broomhill sits on or close to the A93, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Just outside Broomhill, we also work in Kaimhill (1 mile south), Garthdee (1 mile south-west), West End (1 mile north-west), Braeside (1 mile west) and Kincorth (1 mile south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Dyce (6 miles north-west), Tillydrone (3 miles north), Donside Village (3 miles north), Cummings Park (3 miles north), Danestone (3 miles north) and Bucksburn (4 miles north-west).

Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Airyhall Primary School, North East of Scotland Music School and Duthie Park. Broomhill’s nearest station is Aberdeen station, about 1.4 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Trinity Centre (1.5 miles north-east) and Aberdeen Trades Hospitals (1.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Upper Lake and Kincorth Hill.
Do you need mastic sealing in Broomhill?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- No planned programme for sealant
Student accommodation around universities such as Robert Gordon University (0.9 miles south-west of Broomhill) is normally managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broomhill
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Getting access arranged for a building in Broomhill takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- 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.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
