Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Old Deer
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you’re dealing with failed external movement joints and complaints coming in block by block, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Old Deer is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Old Deer, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Old Deer
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- No planned programme for sealant
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Older community buildings, St Drostan's Episcopal Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Before you book anyone

- How they’ll work around occupants
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Old Deer with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Old Deer. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
