Commercial sealant contractors in Red Craig, done properly
Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike, picking the product for each location rather than one tube for everything. We work on washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Red Craig? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
A lot of what we do in Red Craig is replacing sealant that has done its years: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Red Craig: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Add sealant to the planned maintenance inspection list
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, which is how mould gets back in. It’s worth having fans checked while the sealant is fresh.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are.
Questions about Red Craig
Does your area include sites such as Greshop Industrial Estate, near Red Craig?
Yes. We cover Red Craig and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Greshop Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Red Craig outside your area?
No. Places such as Red Craig are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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 we will confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Full removal is part of every quote. A bead laid on old silicone peels away, so it isn’t something we do.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Red Craig. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

What Red Craig’s businesses ask us to seal
Red Craig is within about 3 miles of the coast. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are usually where failed joints show first. Being in the east of Scotland, Red Craig gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Shops and cafés around stations like Forres station (1.4 miles north-east of Red Craig) trade from early, so work is timed around them. Occupiers with premises at both Greshop Industrial Estate and Waterford Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. A unit on an estate like Greshop Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Red Craig) usually has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own.
Red Craig is about 1 mile south-west of Forres, in Moray. We cover commercial sites throughout Red Craig. Red Craig is one of 59 places in Moray on our list. Sites around Aberdeen have their own page, about 65 miles away.

Close to Red Craig, our area also takes in Mundole (1 mile south), Forres (1 mile north-east), Dyke (2 miles west), Rafford (3 miles east) and Moor of Granary (4 miles east).

Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Gaps and ragged beads trap dirt that cleaning can’t reach. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
