Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Elrick
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. Searching for sealant specialists in Elrick? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In smaller Scottish places like Elrick, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. 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. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Elrick
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
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.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, 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)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What we are called out for in Elrick
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Property owners at sites such as Westhill Industrial Estate (under half a mile east of Elrick) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Proof of insurance
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed

Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?

Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
