Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Mastic sealing in Torbothie
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you’re dealing with cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and complaints coming in block by block, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Torbothie from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Torbothie, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Where we can, we combine work around Torbothie with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Torbothie. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Questions we are asked in Torbothie
Can you work at a site such as Stable Road Business Park, by Torbothie?
Yes, sites like Stable Road Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Torbothie. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Torbothie off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What we are called out for in Torbothie
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
If you own or manage units on a site such as Stable Road Business Park, which lies north-west of Torbothie, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
