When to call us in Whitehills
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damp patches beside frames
Historic properties like Duff House (to the south-east of Whitehills) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Whitehills
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and communal area joints that look neglected, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Whoever orders the work in Whitehills, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around Whitehills, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Whitehills

Your questions answered
Is Whitehills too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Inverboyndie Industrial Estate, near Whitehills?
Yes. We cover Whitehills and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Inverboyndie Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
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 the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Planned mastic for Whitehills portfolios
With the shore within about 1 mile, Whitehills counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Whitehills is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
For owners of several units at places like Inverboyndie Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Whitehills, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If you are responsible for a building such as Trinity Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Whitehills is about 14 miles east of Buckie, in Aberdeenshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Whitehills. Whitehills is one of 179 places in Aberdeenshire on our list for mastic joints. Aberdeen is covered too, around 40 miles from Whitehills.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Where we can, we combine work around Whitehills with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
