Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Findon

Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you’re dealing with water getting in round frames after rain and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Findon start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Travel to smaller places like Findon is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.

Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Doing it in-house

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Common questions from Findon clients

Can being near the sea in Findon affect the sealant we need?

It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.

Is a smaller place like Findon outside your area?

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.

What about access for upper-floor joints?

Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.

Do you need to see the site first?

That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

How many days will you need on site?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

How soon can the area be used again?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.

After the work

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:

  • Track which buildings were done and when
  • Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
  • Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
  • Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings

Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.

Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

Work for main contractors and building owners

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

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.

Quoting for work in Findon

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • How accessible the joints are
  • Phasing around occupants
  • The product specified

A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What to include in your enquiry

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:

  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
  • Any dates the work must fit around

To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. You can also send details through our quote form.

Different surfaces, different methods

Tenement and older buildings

Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.

Planned maintenance

Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.

Looking after buildings in and around Findon

Findon lies within about 1 mile of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first. Findon is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind

Property owners at sites such as Blackhill Industrial Estate - B Block (to the west of Findon) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you are responsible for a building such as Portlethen Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Buildings close to stations like Portlethen station (to the south-west of Findon) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Findon is about 6 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. Across the AB12 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 179 places in Aberdeenshire, large and small. Aberdeen is covered too, some 6 miles away.

Commercial sites across AB12 are covered for mastic joints. Buildings on Earnsheugh Road, Earnsheugh Terrace and Old Inn Road are within our area for mastic joints. Sites close to Findon are covered too, including Portlethen Village (1 mile south), Marywell (1 mile north), Portlethen (1 mile west), Badentoy Park (2 miles west) and Cammachmore (3 miles south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Westhill (9 miles north-west), Stonehaven (8 miles south-west), Banchory (14 miles west), Kintore (15 miles north-west), Newmachar (14 miles north) and Balmedie (13 miles north).

Well-known places in the area include Aberdeen Trades Hospitals (5.4 miles north) and Blairs College (4 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Blue Hill and Portlethen Moss.

Our process

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Findon is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.

  1. A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
  2. You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
  3. We agree the programme and dates with you.
  4. Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

Before we start on site

  • Confirm the product named in the specification
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Point out any areas we must not close

Getting a fixed quote

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
