Mastic sealing in Turriff, done properly
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are no planned programme for sealant and window mastic that has split and shrunk. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Turriff first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Turriff, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near Turriff, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Frames, entrances and external joints in Turriff
Being in the east of Scotland, Turriff gets less rain than the west coast. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Trustees of buildings like St Ninian's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. For a school such as Turriff Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
