FAQs: Dunlop
Is Dunlop too far out for you?
Not at all. Dunlop is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can the sealant on our Dunlop premises match the finishes?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photographs and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
How long will the new sealant 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.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
About our coloured sealant in Dunlop
Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, however well it was installed. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. Most enquiries involve white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish and joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour, across powder-coated and anodised frames, office fit-out finishes and shop-fit joinery and counters. Whoever orders the work in Dunlop, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Dunlop, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What affects the price in Dunlop
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
- The product specified
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Commercial premises in Dunlop
The west of Scotland, where Dunlop is, gets more rain than the east. We plan external joints for dry spells and keep internal work in reserve. Shopfronts and frames facing the prevailing weather are where failures show first
For any commercial premises in Dunlop, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces. For premises near Dunlop station (less than half a mile south-east of Dunlop), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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 usually 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.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs near Dunlop are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- Your RAL reference, sample or photo is checked against that product’s colours.
- You approve the colour, on site if it’s critical.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration and deal with problems early.
Approve a sample where colour really matters. Seeing the cured colour in place avoids surprises.
