What sealant work can’t fix

- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Westhill
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance 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 communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are movement joints with sealant missing and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Whoever orders the work in Westhill, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Westhill, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.

Common questions from Westhill clients
Does your area include sites such as Westhill Industrial Estate, near Westhill?
Yes. Our area takes in Westhill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Westhill Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Westhill outside your area?
No. Places such as Westhill are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Westhill, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- 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.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Do you need mastic sealing in Westhill?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
Landlords with units on estates such as Westhill Industrial Estate (0.5 miles south-east of Westhill) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
