About our mastic sealing in Lumphanan
For blocks and buildings in Lumphanan and across Aberdeenshire, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are no planned programme for sealant and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Most enquiries from Lumphanan start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Lumphanan, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Aberdeenshire. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Lumphanan. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Quoting for work in Lumphanan
Before we quote, we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Questions about Lumphanan
What site paperwork comes with a job in Lumphanan?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Lumphanan?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
When to call us in Lumphanan
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Failed external movement joints
Trustees of buildings like Stothart Memorial Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Who will actually carry out the work

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
