About our mastic sealing in Towie
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you’re dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Towie, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller Scottish places like Towie, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Work we carry out in Aberdeenshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What else we do in Towie
Why it’s worth doing now in Towie
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. 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.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in Towie choose us
- Public liability insurance in place
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Do you need mastic sealing in Towie?
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Look out for the following:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Trustees of buildings like Towie Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

Towie: questions and answers
Will you price a mastic programme across our Towie portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Towie?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
