How we handle mastic sealing in Easter Skeld
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are no planned programme for sealant and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Easter Skeld is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Easter Skeld is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Easter Skeld: questions and answers
Do you work on the island where Easter Skeld is?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Easter Skeld. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Easter Skeld?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Easter Skeld are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.

For owners and agents in Easter Skeld
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Easter Skeld. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first. Being in the east of Scotland, Easter Skeld gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Reawick Congregational Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Easter Skeld, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Why it’s worth doing now in Easter Skeld
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
