What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Oldmeldrum. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Oldmeldrum
Oldmeldrum is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If your remit includes a building such as Meldrum Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Buildings close to stations like Inverurie station, 4 miles south-west of Oldmeldrum, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Oldmeldrum is about 4 miles north-east of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. We send applicators to Oldmeldrum for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Aberdeenshire coverage takes in 179 places, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Aberdeen page.
If you need mastic sealing in AB51, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Station Road, Cowgate and Lower Cowgate and the roads nearby. Access to Oldmeldrum is via the A920 and A947. Nearby places we also cover include Hattoncrook (3 miles south-east), Inverurie (4 miles south-west), Garioch (4 miles south-west), Daviot (4 miles west) and Tarves (4 miles north-east). Nearby towns on our patch include Westhill (13 miles south), Ellon (9 miles east), Turriff (15 miles north), Kemnay (8 miles south-west), Kintore (7 miles south) and Newmachar (7 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Local landmarks in Oldmeldrum
We work on buildings around Meldrum Arms Hotel, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Inverurie station, roughly 4 miles south-west. Well-known places in the area include House Of Daviot Hospital (4.1 miles west) and Mounie Castle (2.7 miles west).
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Oldmeldrum: questions and answers
Will you take on a block within reach of Inverurie station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Oldmeldrum too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
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.

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
