Mastic sealing for Tarland sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
About our mastic sealing in Tarland
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Whoever orders the work in Tarland, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Tarland, 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 stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Tarland
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.

- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Failed external movement joints
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Tarland, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

FAQs: Tarland
Is Tarland too far out for you?
No. Places such as Tarland are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Tarland?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Clear, fixed quotes
