Mastic sealing for Fetterangus sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
How we handle mastic sealing in Fetterangus
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you’re dealing with no planned programme for sealant and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can help, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Whoever orders the work in Fetterangus, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Fetterangus is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What we’re called out for in Fetterangus
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draughts at frames across a block
Site managers at schools like Peterhead Academy can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

- How they’ll work around occupants
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Fetterangus: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Fetterangus?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Fetterangus?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.

Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
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.
