Construction mastic in Craigton, done properly
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and oversized or tapered gaps around new frames, we can put it right, on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Craigton? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
External sealing around Craigton depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Craigton
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Common problems we fix in Craigton
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Mastic snags holding up handover
On any site in or around Craigton, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

How the job changes by surface
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Craigton, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Craigton: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ashludie Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Craigton?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
