Mastic sealing in Hattoncrook
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and water getting in round frames after rain.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.

Your questions answered
Will you price a mastic programme across our Hattoncrook portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can you quote for a block close to Inverurie station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Who decides which product is used?
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 if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you need mastic sealing in Hattoncrook?
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- No planned programme for sealant
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Inverurie station, 4.7 miles west of Hattoncrook, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
