Mastic sealing in Summerhill
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Site teams most often ask us about the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and water getting in round frames after rain, across window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Searching for sealant specialists in Summerhill? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sandstone tenements in most Scottish cities, and granite in Aberdeen, need mastic that suits the stone, and replacement windows set into those walls need a perimeter sealant that won’t mark the stone.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Aberdeen. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. In Summerhill, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Summerhill: questions and answers
Can work in a care setting near Summerhill go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Aberdeen station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn starting wherever is most urgent.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Summerhill, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- 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.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Summerhill
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
If your remit includes a building such as Oakbank School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their public liability cover
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Quoting for work in Summerhill
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
