Coloured sealant in Rathven
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. Adjacent finishes are masked and protected while we work, and we leave the area clean. Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites and untidy coloured beads with ragged edges, on powder-coated and anodised frames, office fit-out finishes and natural stone and brick. Whoever orders the work in Rathven, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places such as Rathven is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rathven
Standard white or grey sealant is cheaper to stock, but it doesn’t always suit the finish. On visible work, the small extra effort of a colour from the product’s range pays off in how the finished space looks. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Rathven before they leak.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Rathven can form part of a wider programme.
What Rathven’s businesses ask us to seal
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Rathven. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The east of Scotland, where Rathven is, gets less rain than the west. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed.
If you run a unit on an estate such as March Road Industrial Estate, under half a mile west of Rathven, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.
Rathven is about 1 mile east of Buckie, in Moray. Any commercial site in Rathven is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Moray coverage takes in 59 places, large and small. There’s a separate page for Aberdeen, roughly 47 miles from Rathven.

What we’re called out for in Rathven
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: it can crack, peel or harden with age and movement. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Fit-outs with a sealant colour in the specification
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
A hotel such as Old Coach House Hotel, 1.1 miles west of Rathven, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Common questions from Rathven clients
Our building in Rathven is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you take on work at estates like March Road Industrial Estate, close to Rathven?
Yes, sites like March Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Rathven. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks, and resealing brings the look back.
Do you do a sample bead?
Yes. We can fit a sample into the programme.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Rathven. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- The sealant type is chosen for the joint first, then the colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We remove the existing bead, clean the faces and set the depth.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
