Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Tillydrone
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are draughts at frames across a block and water getting in round frames after rain.

Why deal with it now?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.

Planned maintenance

Questions we’re asked in Tillydrone
We manage a building near Aberdeen station. Can you help?

Do you cover business parks and estates near Tillydrone, such as St Machar Industrial Estate?

Can you plan resealing across several buildings?

It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Failed external movement joints
If you look after a block within reach of Aberdeen station, 2 miles south of Tillydrone, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

Planned mastic for Tillydrone portfolios
Tillydrone is within about 2 miles of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Being in the east of Scotland, Tillydrone gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
If you own or manage units on a site such as St Machar Industrial Estate, which lies south of Tillydrone, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Aberdeen (to the south-east of Tillydrone) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.
