About our coloured sealant in Midlem
Colour-matched joints are often among the last items before handover. We work around other trades and protect adjacent finishes, and we leave the area clean. A 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship. If you have a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Midlem? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Travel to smaller places such as Midlem is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photographs and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Settle the colour with the designer at the start
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong; fixing it early prevents rework.

From enquiry to sign-off

Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Midlem, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- Colour options from the specified product’s range are shared with you.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.

Advice
Midlem: questions and answers
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Midlem?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Is Midlem off your patch?
No. Places such as Midlem are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Leave it or put it right?
Matching new joints to the existing ones is easier when the whole run is done together. Small repairs at different times rarely match. For buildings near Midlem, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

What Midlem’s businesses ask us to seal

Offices and shops close to stations such as Tweedbank station (4.7 miles north of Midlem) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. A lasting commercial joint around Midlem begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
