When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Mastic sealing in Midstocket, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. Whoever orders the work in Midstocket, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around Midstocket, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Midstocket
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. For buildings near Midstocket, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Midstocket is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification

FAQs: Midstocket
We manage a building near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Whitemyres Business Centre, close to Midstocket?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Midstocket, Whitemyres Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Block-wide mastic in Midstocket
Midstocket sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first; plan inspections around that. Midstocket is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Ninian's Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Whitemyres Business Centre, which lies west of Midstocket, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If your remit includes a building such as Oakbank School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
