Looking after buildings in and around Sauchen
The east of Scotland, where Sauchen is, gets less rain than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Kirkwood Business Park (0.7 miles east of Sauchen), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Owners near Sauchen can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

About our mastic sealing in Sauchen
Across Sauchen and the rest of Aberdeenshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Sauchen 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.
Around Sauchen, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Your questions answered
Will you price a mastic programme across our Sauchen portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Sauchen off your patch?
Not at all. Sauchen is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Sauchen. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Sauchen is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Get a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
