Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Luthermuir
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and damp patches beside frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Luthermuir tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around Luthermuir, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- The size and state of each joint
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.

Luthermuir: questions and answers
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Luthermuir?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Luthermuir too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Luthermuir are often grouped with others in the same area, 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.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm 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.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

What we are called out for in Luthermuir
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Water getting in round frames after rain
For agents with blocks near Laurencekirk station, 4 miles north-east of Luthermuir, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

- Shopfronts below residential blocks

What else we do in Luthermuir
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, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
