Construction mastic in Croy, done properly
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Croy, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. Site teams most often ask us about different trades sealing to different standards and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, across sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and brick and block movement joints. Most enquiries from Croy start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Croy can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Construction mastic in Croy: the local picture
Croy sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Croy is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Outside mastic is booked around the forecast, and internal sealing fills the gaps.
When units on a site such as Dalcross Industrial Estate (2.5 miles north-west of Croy) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. When a college such as Cantraybridge College (to the south of Croy) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.
Croy is about 7 miles south-west of Nairn, in Highland. Any commercial site in Croy is covered. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Croy among them. For work in that direction, see our Aberdeen page (75 miles or so).
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout IV2, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Fraser Lane, MacKinnon Drive and Miller Road or nearby, we can quote for mastic packages. Nearby places we also cover include Newlands of Culloden (3 miles south-west), Ardersier (3 miles north), Balloch (4 miles south-west), Viewhill (4 miles south-west) and Cawdor (4 miles east) for mastic packages.

For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so include the location in your enquiry.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting before sealing starts.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Croy can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
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.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start and adjusted as things change.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
