Our commercial sealant contractors service in Angus
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, across window and door perimeters, external facade joints and washrooms and tea points.
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Landmarks near Arbroath
Recent enquiries here include premises near Arbroath High School, Knox's Church and The Corn Exchange pub, among other places. There’s a railway station in Arbroath itself: Arbroath station. Other landmarks nearby include Arbroath Signal Tower Museum (0.6 miles south) and Arbroath Infirmary (0.6 miles south).
Commercial premises across Angus
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose all leave joints that need sealing. Visible joints call for a matched colour and a clean tooled finish.
Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so mastic work on shared parts may come through the factor. Angus includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
Arbroath: Units at places like Westway Retail Park, 1.2 miles south-west of Arbroath, are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme. Offices and shops close to stations such as Arbroath station (to the south-east of Arbroath) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
Different surfaces, different methods
Fire-rated seals where specified
Fire-rated sealant is only one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services and gaps, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else.
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.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Angus
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Angus can form part of a wider programme across Angus.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What affects the price in Angus
Before we quote, we look at:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain; in time the surface chalks, hardens and cracks. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Water staining near frames, panels or ceilings
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Keep barriers up until the new sealant has cured
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. If that happens, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll price putting it right.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
Angus: questions and answers
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility and removing it isn’t something we do.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.
