Mastic sealing for Thomshill sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
For owners and agents in Thomshill
Being in the east of Scotland, Thomshill gets less rain than the west coast. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Programmes allow for that
Older community buildings, Birnie Kirk among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For a school such as Elgin High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For owners of several units at places like Troves Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the north-east of Thomshill, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Mastic sealing in Thomshill, done properly
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, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you have a mix of products and colours from past repairs and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Thomshill, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Thomshill, 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 sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Where we can, we combine work around Thomshill with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
Planned maintenance
We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Your questions answered
We manage a building near Elgin station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Troves Industrial Estate, near Thomshill, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Thomshill, Troves Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:

- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Broken glass or failed sealed units

Why act early in Thomshill
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
