About our mastic sealing in Crimond
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Crimond carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have water getting in round frames after rain and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Crimond is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Crimond, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Work we carry out in Aberdeenshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Block-wide mastic in Crimond
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Crimond. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. Being in the east of Scotland, Crimond gets less rain than the west coast. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Crimond Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Common problems we fix in Crimond
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Owners near Crimond can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
FAQs: Crimond
Will you price a mastic programme across our Crimond portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Crimond too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Quoting for work in Crimond
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
How the job changes by surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Crimond, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
