Our commercial sealant contractors service in Midlothian
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in, and on a working site that normally 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. 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, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks.
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
What you’ll pay
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Local landmarks in Bonnyrigg
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Bonnyrigg Parish Church, Lasswade High School Centre and Public Library and the streets around them. Bonnyrigg’s nearest station is Eskbank station, about 1.1 miles north-east. Nearby you will also find Dalhousie Castle (1.2 miles south-east) and Midlothian Community Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s The New Leaf Co-op and Edgelaw Reservoir.
Commercial premises across Midlothian
From Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith and Penicuik outwards, Midlothian has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote.
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. Our part is sealing to the specification, whatever the building. Coastal places in Midlothian often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, so work is often best planned for quieter months.
Bonnyrigg: Shops and cafés around stations like Eskbank station, 1.1 miles north-east of Bonnyrigg, trade from early, so work is timed around them. Parks like Dalhousie Business Park, 0.9 miles to the south-east of Bonnyrigg, see tenants come and go, and every move-in brings joints to seal.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
Surface by surface
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Common problems we fix in Midlothian
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. New silicone has nothing to key into. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
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.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
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.
FAQs: Midlothian
Is Midlothian in your area?
Yes. We cover Midlothian, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
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 we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
That comes down to planning: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes, and through main contractors too. You send the details, we return a fixed quote, and the job is done and signed off, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
