Doing it in-house
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Mastic sealing in Dyce, done properly
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: 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 window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Dyce, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Tenements are a large part of the housing in Scotland’s cities, and shared repairs often go through a property factor. Shared-part mastic work is usually agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
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.

Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal

Buildings close to stations like Dyce station (under half a mile north of Dyce) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Questions we are asked in Dyce
Can work in a care setting near Dyce go ahead while residents are there?

How do tenement owners in Dyce get shared-part mastic done?
Work on shared parts is usually agreed by the owners, often through a property factor. Send details and photographs, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.

Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
