Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Wyndford
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is movement joints with sealant missing and window mastic that has split and shrunk. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Wyndford? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Many of Scotland’s city tenements are looked after by property factors. Shared-part mastic work is normally agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
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.
Surface by surface
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.

Looking after buildings in and around Wyndford
Wyndford is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Programmes allow for wet days.
Schools and community buildings such as Cleveden Secondary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Gilshochill station (to the north-east of Wyndford) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Landlords with units on estates such as Dalsholm Industrial Estate (to the north-west of Wyndford) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Wyndford: questions and answers
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Gilshochill station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How do tenement owners in Wyndford get shared-part mastic done?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. We are happy to deal with the factor directly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
