Common questions from Tomintoul clients
Which documents can you supply for work in Tomintoul?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Tomintoul?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you work in Tomintoul?
Yes. We cover Tomintoul, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
Mastic sealing in Tomintoul, done properly
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and communal area joints that look neglected, across communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. For commercial sealant work in Tomintoul, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For buildings around Tomintoul, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and managed buildings in Tomintoul
Being in the east of Scotland, Tomintoul gets less rain than the west coast. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Owners near Tomintoul can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

What affects the price in Tomintoul
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Tomintoul before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
