Mastic sealing in Kingswells: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Kingswells gets less rain than the west coast. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. The 2 miles around Kingswells include two care or nursing homes. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus, 3.2 miles east of Kingswells, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. If your remit includes a building such as Hazlehead Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Kingswells
Owners and agents typically 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. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kingswells? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Many of Scotland’s city tenements are looked after by property factors. Shared-part mastic work is typically agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
When to call us in Kingswells
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for instance where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Dyce station (to the north of Kingswells) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they’ll work around occupants
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Failed sealant in a shared building in Kingswells can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- 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
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
