Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Tullos
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Tullos carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is damp patches beside frames and brittle perimeter mastic across a building. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Tullos, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Tullos is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Quoting for work in Tullos
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.

Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Around smaller places like Tullos, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Planned mastic for Tullos portfolios
Tullos is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Tullos. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Student blocks close to universities like Robert Gordon University (1.8 miles north-west of Tullos) are easiest to work on between tenancies. Schools and community buildings such as Torry Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Questions we’re asked in Tullos
Will you take on a block within reach of Aberdeen station?
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 will give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like East Tullos Industrial Estate, close to Tullos?
Yes. Our area takes in Tullos and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as East Tullos Industrial Estate included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How the job changes by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Tullos, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
