Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Mastic sealing in Udny Station
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and what we are called in for most is old repairs sealed over failed mastic and damp patches beside frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Udny Station, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Udny Station is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions about Udny Station
Is Udny Station too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Udny Station is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Udny Station?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Udny Station
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.

- Draughts at frames across a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
Near Udny Station, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.

- Their public liability cover
- How the existing material will be dealt with
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
