Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Catterline
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints with sealant missing and damp patches beside frames, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Catterline, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Catterline, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.

Questions about Catterline
Is Catterline too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Stonehaven station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Catterline, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- 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.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What affects the price in Catterline
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites

Blocks and managed buildings in Catterline
Catterline lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first. Catterline is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions.
Trustees of buildings like Catterline Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Stonehaven station, 4.9 miles north of Catterline, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
