Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Lhanbryde with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Lhanbryde
Lhanbryde is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you’re responsible for a building such as Old Parish Church and Burial Ground, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For agents with blocks near Elgin station (3.6 miles west of Lhanbryde), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Lhanbryde is about 4 miles east of Elgin, in Moray. If you are looking for mastic sealing in Lhanbryde, we can help. Across Moray, 59 places are covered, Lhanbryde among them. We also cover Aberdeen, some 53 miles away.
We take on mastic joints across the IV30 postcode area. Buildings on Station Road, Garmouth Road and Gilliebog Place are within our area. If your building is just outside Lhanbryde, we cover Urquhart (1 mile north-east), Blackhills (1 mile south), Hallowood (2 miles west), Lochhill (2 miles north) and Ashgrove (3 miles west). Further afield, our area takes in Elgin (4 miles west), Buckie (10 miles east), Forres (15 miles west), Lossiemouth (6 miles north-west), Keith (12 miles south-east) and Portknockie (14 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Questions we are asked in Lhanbryde
Is Elgin Business Park, near Lhanbryde, within your area?
Yes. We cover Lhanbryde and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Elgin Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Lhanbryde outside your area?
Not at all. Lhanbryde is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
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.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
What we’re called out for in Lhanbryde
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Landlords with units on estates such as Elgin Business Park (to the west of Lhanbryde) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
