Mastic sealing across Clermiston
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Clermiston, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Clermiston
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Clermiston carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is open joints in brickwork or panels and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Clermiston is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
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. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clermiston
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In Clermiston, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
