How we handle mastic sealing in Westhill
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and no planned programme for sealant, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Westhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Do you work in occupied care homes around Westhill?

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Can you work to our specification?

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Westhill. 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
What affects the price in Westhill
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What we are called out for in Westhill
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Property owners at sites such as Beechwood Business Park, 1.1 miles to the west of Westhill, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
