Looking after buildings in and around Carlogie
Carlogie sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. The east of Scotland, where Carlogie is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Buildings close to stations like Carnoustie station (1 mile south-east of Carlogie) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. For a school such as Carnoustie High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older community buildings, Holyrood Episcopal Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

How we handle mastic sealing in Carlogie
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about brittle perimeter mastic across a building and movement joints with sealant missing, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Most enquiries from Carlogie start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Carlogie, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why act early in Carlogie
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. For buildings near Carlogie, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- One contact handling all your sites
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Carlogie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Carnoustie station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Is Carlogie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
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.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
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 long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
