About our coloured sealant in Addiewell
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL finishes often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against the sealant’s standard range. Where nothing in the range is close enough, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may be an alternative, if the joint and specification allow. If you’re dealing with previous reseals that don’t match the original and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour, we can put it right, on natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Addiewell it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For work in and around Addiewell, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Addiewell clients
Does your area include sites such as West Calder Business Centre, near Addiewell?
Yes. Our area takes in Addiewell and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as West Calder Business Centre included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Addiewell?
Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Who decides which product is used?
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 a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Addiewell with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- We compare your RAL reference or sample with the colours made for that sealant.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Addiewell
Less than 3 miles from Addiewell there are at least three named estates and business parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Being in the east of Scotland, Addiewell gets less rain than the west coast. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Occupiers with premises at both West Calder Business Centre and Mosshall Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Shops and cafés around stations like Addiewell station, less than half a mile to the south-east of Addiewell, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Quoting for work in Addiewell
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings

- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What the job involves on each surface
Office fit-outs
Office joinery and frames usually follow a colour scheme. We choose sealant colours to suit and agree them before work starts.
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in a colour chosen from its range.
Do you need coloured sealant in Addiewell?
Joints repaired piecemeal often end up in several shades. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints across one elevation. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
Look out for the following:
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Untidy coloured beads with ragged edges
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
If you run an office at a site such as West Calder Business Centre, 1.4 miles east of Addiewell, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their public liability cover
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
- Check a trial length in real light
Don’t let anyone patch a coloured joint with whatever sealant is to hand. A mismatched repair stands out, so it is better to reseal the section properly.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. That keeps new work in line with what’s there.
