Construction mastic in Craigie
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Craigie. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed. Searching for sealant specialists in Craigie? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site around Craigie, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photographs and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

FAQs: Craigie
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Craigie?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Kirklandside Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Send the snag list or photos and we’ll price it.
How do you work with the site programme?
We seal plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. The sequence is settled with your site team and adjusted as things change.
What does a mastic package typically include?
External perimeters and movement joints, internal caulking where specified, sanitary and kitchen joints, plus snagging in one fixed quote.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Protecting sealed areas from following trades helps avoid damage.
Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Craigie. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
A quote for mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common problems we fix in Craigie
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Typical triggers for a call:
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
Historic houses such as Carnell Estate (to the east of Craigie) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their public liability cover
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent, plot by plot or floor by floor.

Construction mastic in Craigie: the local picture
Craigie is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. We keep internal mastic in hand so wet days aren’t lost. Building work in Craigie comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
New wings at hospitals like Kirklandside Hospital, 2.6 miles north of Craigie, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Around Craigie

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep product details for future maintenance
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
