Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Dufftown
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is failed external movement joints and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Dufftown from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Dufftown is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Estate-wide resealing programmes

Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Block-wide mastic in Dufftown
The east of Scotland, where Dufftown is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Do you need mastic sealing in Dufftown?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- No planned programme for sealant
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Trustees of buildings like St Mary of The Assumption can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their public liability cover
- Who will actually carry out the work
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Questions we are asked in Dufftown
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Dufftown?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Dufftown?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
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’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.
