Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Inchture, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Mastic sealing in Inchture
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Inchture carry our 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with window mastic that has split and shrunk and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Inchture, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Inchture, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common problems we fix in Inchture
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
If you look after a block within reach of Invergowrie station, which lies east of Inchture, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Mastic sealing in Inchture: the local picture
Inchture sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. Inchture is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Older community buildings, Inchture Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Inchture is about 7 miles west of Dundee, in Perth and Kinross. Our applicators travel to Inchture for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Inchture is one of 114 places we cover in Perth and Kinross. We also cover Dundee, around 7 miles from Inchture.
Commercial sites across PH14 are covered for mastic joints. Buildings on Flower of Monorgan Close, Seggieden Close and Orchard Way are within our area. Sites close to Inchture are covered too, including Longforgan (2 miles north-east), Grange (2 miles south), Kingoodie (4 miles east), Fowlis (4 miles north-east) and Errol (4 miles south-west). Bigger towns within reach include Perth (11 miles west), Blairgowrie and Rattray (12 miles north-west), Letham (12 miles west), Scone (9 miles west), Tulloch (12 miles west) and Alyth (13 miles north).
Landmarks near Inchture

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.

Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Inchture affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is a smaller place like Inchture outside your area?
Not at all. Inchture is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
