Commercial mastic work in Crathes
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). If you have untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Crathes is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Crathes can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
In smaller Scottish places like Crathes, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. It can run into cavities, insulation and internal finishes long before anyone sees a stain. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
What the job involves on each surface
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. The lasting answer is removal, preparation and a new sanitary bead.
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
Crathes: questions and answers
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Crathes?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Does your area include sites such as Banchory Trade Park, near Crathes?
Yes, sites like Banchory Trade Park are within our area, along with the rest of Crathes. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes, and through main contractors too. You send the details, we return a fixed quote, and the job is done and signed off.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Commercial sealant contractors around Crathes: points for this area
The 3 miles around Crathes take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Crathes is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Trade counters and showrooms on estates such as Banchory Trade Park, 2.3 miles west of Crathes, need neat joints where clients see them. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Banchory Trade Park and Tillybrake Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
