Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ellon
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and water getting in round frames after rain. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Ellon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Ellon, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Ellon as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Yes. Our area takes in Ellon and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ellon Business Park included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ellon portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can you work to our specification?
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.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site 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.

What else we do in Ellon
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Jobs near Ellon are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Misted or failed double-glazed units

What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
