About our mastic sealing in Royston
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with complaints coming in block by block and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Royston first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Housing associations and councils in Scotland’s cities manage large estates of flats and maisonettes. A planned programme deals with failed mastic across an estate, block by block.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Why it’s worth doing now in Royston
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Common problems we fix in Royston
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Water getting in round frames after rain
If your remit includes a building such as St. Roch's Secondary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
