Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Rattray
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is damp patches beside frames and open joints in brickwork or panels. Most enquiries from Rattray start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller Scottish places like Rattray, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
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.

Common questions from Rattray clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Rattray, such as Welton Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Rattray and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Welton Industrial Estate included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Rattray too far out for you?

What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
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.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near Rattray, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.

Before we start on site

Advice
Common problems we fix in Rattray
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 it tears.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Older community buildings, Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
