Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Mastic sealing in Gartly, done properly
Across Gartly and the rest of Aberdeenshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames and movement joints with sealant missing. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Gartly from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Gartly, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.

Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Common questions from Gartly clients
Is Gartly too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Gartly are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Gartly?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For work around Gartly, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
