About our commercial sealant contractors in Craigiebuckler
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us; phasing keeps some washrooms, kitchens or entrances available while others are done. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Craigiebuckler? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Craigiebuckler can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Much of the older commercial stock in Scotland’s cities is sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite. Stone needs a neutral-cure sealant suited to it and a colour that sits quietly against the masonry.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Facade and cladding joints
On a facade, a failed joint is often only visible close up. Close-up photos or a site visit tell us what’s needed, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Craigiebuckler
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Craigiebuckler. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let. Being in the east of Scotland, Craigiebuckler gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work.
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Mastrick Industrial Estate and Whitemyres Business Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both. Industrial estates such as Mastrick Industrial Estate (1.1 miles north of Craigiebuckler) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.
Craigiebuckler is about 2 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Commercial clients in Craigiebuckler use us for work on sealant joints. Our Aberdeen coverage takes in 40 places.
Work on sealant joints is covered throughout AB15, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Oyne Road, Queen's Road and Fintray Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for sealant joints. Access to Craigiebuckler is via the A9119 among other routes. If your building is just outside Craigiebuckler, we cover Braeside (1 mile south-east), West End (1 mile east), Summerhill (1 mile north), Rubislaw (1 mile north-east) and Midstocket (1 mile north-east). A short drive away, we cover New Aberdeen (3 miles east), Dyce (5 miles north), Tillydrone (3 miles north-east), Donside Village (3 miles north-east), Cove Bay (3 miles south-east) and Danestone (3 miles north).

Common problems we fix in Craigiebuckler
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
A hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Aberdeen Treetops (less than half a mile south-east of Craigiebuckler) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. Getting access arranged for a building in Craigiebuckler takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Craigiebuckler need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is Mastrick Industrial Estate, near Craigiebuckler, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Craigiebuckler, Mastrick Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you work in Craigiebuckler?
Yes. Craigiebuckler falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
