Sealant specialists in Rigside
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in, and on a working site that typically surfaces as a leak, a stain or a complaint from occupiers. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors with sites in Rigside. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. We work on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off. For commercial sealant work in Rigside, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
The most common commercial job in Rigside is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
For a job around Rigside, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: 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 stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Surface by surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. Work is timed around the hours you give us so the kitchen isn’t out of use longer than needed.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions from Rigside clients
Which documents can you supply for work in Rigside?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Rigside too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Rigside is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Rigside, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Sealant on show in Rigside’s commercial buildings
Rigside 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
A lasting commercial joint around Rigside begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. For premises around Rigside where the joint is seen, colour options for the product are confirmed with the quote.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, and the bill then involves other trades. Dealing with it while the damage stops at the bead is the cheaper route. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Rigside before they leak.
A quote for sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
