Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Potarch
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. Most enquiries from Potarch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Potarch, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Aberdeenshire. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What we are called out for in Potarch
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Potarch, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Advice
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
