About our mastic sealing in Kincorth
Across Kincorth and the rest of Aberdeen, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are worn sealant at communal door frames and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Kincorth start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Tenements are a large part of the housing in Scotland’s cities, and shared repairs often go through a property factor. Shared-part mastic work is normally agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Kincorth: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of Aberdeen station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can being near the sea in Kincorth affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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.
Do you cover Kincorth?
Yes. We cover Kincorth, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Common problems we fix in Kincorth
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Schools and community buildings such as Lochside Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their public liability cover
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Mastic sealing around Kincorth: points for this area
With the shore within about 2 miles, Kincorth counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Kincorth is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
If you’re responsible for a building such as Ruthrieston South Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Landlords with units on estates such as Kincorth Shopping Centre, under half a mile east of Kincorth, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around

What else we do in Kincorth
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. City jobs in Kincorth normally need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Quotes

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
