Mastic sealing across Newhills
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newhills
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Around smaller places like Newhills, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in Newhills choose us

Mastic sealing in Newhills
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, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you are dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and no planned programme for sealant, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Newhills? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around Newhills, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Newhills is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Get a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Newhills
There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Newhills. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. Newhills is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
If you look after a block within reach of Dyce station (2 miles north of Newhills), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For owners of several units at places like Aberdeen International Business Park (1.1 miles north of Newhills), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus, 3.2 miles south-east of Newhills, is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
Newhills is about 4 miles north-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Anywhere in AB21, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Aberdeen, 40 places are covered, Newhills among them.
If you need mastic sealing in AB21, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Nearby places we also cover include Kingswells (1 mile south), Countesswells (3 miles south), Westhill (4 miles south-west), Elrick (4 miles south-west) and Bieldside (4 miles south) for mastic joints. Further afield, our area takes in Aberdeen (4 miles south-east), Rosemount (4 miles south-east), Berryden (4 miles south-east), Ferryhill (5 miles south-east), New Aberdeen (5 miles south-east) and Tillydrone (4 miles east).
What’s near Newhills
We work on buildings around Newhills Parish Church. For rail, the closest station is Dyce station, roughly 2 miles north. Nearby you’ll also find Mar's Castle (4.6 miles south-east) and Gordon Highlanders Museum (3.7 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Brimmond Hill and Rubislaw Quarry.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Questions about Newhills
Is Aberdeen International Business Park, near Newhills, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Newhills and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Aberdeen International Business Park included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
We manage a building near Dyce station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
