Mastic sealing in Rhynie
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and damp patches beside frames, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Whoever orders the work in Rhynie, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Rhynie is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Rhynie
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
What we’re called out for in Rhynie
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- No planned programme for sealant
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Historic properties like Leith Hall (3 miles north-east of Rhynie) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
For owners and agents in Rhynie
Rhynie is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty.
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Rhynie, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Advice
Questions about Rhynie
Is Rhynie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Rhynie?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
