About our mastic sealing in Kintore
For blocks and buildings in Kintore and across Aberdeenshire, the process is the same: 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. If you’re dealing with brittle perimeter mastic across a building and failed external movement joints, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Kintore, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Kintore, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Mastic sealing around Kintore: how the place shapes the job
Kintore is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
For owners of several units at places like Midmill Business Park, 0.9 miles south-east of Kintore, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If you’re responsible for a building such as Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Kintore is about 4 miles south of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. Any commercial site in Kintore is covered. Kintore is one of 179 places we cover in Aberdeenshire. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 10 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in AB51 are within our area for mastic joints. Among the streets we cover are Henderson Park, Mcfadden Park and Castlepark Grove, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Being close to the A96 and B977, Kintore is easy to get to with materials and equipment. Just outside Kintore, we also work in Cottown (1 mile west), Kinellar (2 miles south-east), Port Elphinstone (3 miles north), Kinmuck (3 miles north-east) and Garioch (4 miles north). Further afield, our area takes in Westhill (6 miles south), Ellon (14 miles north-east), Banchory (13 miles south-west), Portlethen (14 miles south-east), Kemnay (4 miles west) and Oldmeldrum (7 miles north). For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.

Kintore: questions and answers
Is Kintore too far out for you?
Not at all. Kintore is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Kintore station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Other services in Kintore
Do you need mastic sealing in Kintore?
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For agents with blocks near Kintore station, 0.7 miles north of Kintore, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Before you book anyone
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Kintore with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- 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 programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
