Mastic sealing for businesses in Hatton of Fintray
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
About our mastic sealing in Hatton of Fintray
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you are dealing with cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Hatton of Fintray, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Travel to smaller places like Hatton of Fintray is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.

Common questions from Hatton of Fintray clients
We manage a building near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Blackburn Industrial Estate, near Hatton of Fintray, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hatton of Fintray, Blackburn Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Hatton of Fintray with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Related advice
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
When to call us in Hatton of Fintray
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Old Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
