Mastic sealing in Laurencekirk
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Site teams most often ask us about complaints coming in block by block and open joints in brickwork or panels, on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Laurencekirk, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Laurencekirk, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Advice
Common questions from Laurencekirk clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Laurencekirk, such as Laurencekirk Business Park?
Yes, sites like Laurencekirk Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Laurencekirk. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
We manage a building near Laurencekirk station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Laurencekirk. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- A fixed quote before work starts
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

What else we do in Laurencekirk
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
