Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Boarhills
We can agree a short trial length before the full run. Sealant can look slightly different once it has cured, and again in different light, so seeing it in place helps. Let us know who signs off colour, and we’ll fit the sample into the programme. Most enquiries involve poorly tooled joints on visible finishes and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges, on cladding panels, natural stone and brick and hotel bathrooms and public areas. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Boarhills? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Boarhills, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why deal with it now?
Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Small repairs at different times rarely match, so a planned reseal often looks better value. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Boarhills, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

Shops, offices and hotels in and around Boarhills
Boarhills sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. The east of Scotland, where Boarhills is, gets less rain than the west. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
For any commercial premises in Boarhills, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.

Questions about Boarhills
Is Boarhills too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Boarhills?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. Where we can, we combine work around Boarhills with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Stopping sealant from ever changing colour outdoors
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Cladding panels
- Natural stone and brick
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Office fit-out finishes
How the job changes by surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL colours often need a sealant to suit. We compare the reference with the specified product’s colour range, and you confirm the choice.
Brick and masonry
Brickwork joints typically look best in a colour close to the mortar or brick. We choose a suitable shade from the product’s range before work starts.
Common problems we fix in Boarhills
Patch repairs in a different colour are a common problem. Different products and batches used over the years leave a patchwork. Doing the full run in a single colour solves it.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
- Marked sealant in hotel bathrooms
Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
