Why deal with it now?
Agreeing the colour before work starts avoids paying twice. A sample takes little time. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Polton, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Coloured sealant in Polton, done properly
In retail, hospitality and office fit-outs, joints are seen close up every day. A grey bead on a black shopfront or a white line against oak looks like a defect, even when the seal is sound. We pick a colour from the product’s range that sits with the finish. If you are dealing with dirty, discoloured joints in public areas and hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme, we can put it right, on hotel bathrooms and public areas, office fit-out finishes and cladding panels alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Polton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Polton, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
Expect some change in appearance over the years. That is normal for exposed sealant.
Settle the colour early in the project. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches, so agree it with the designer at the start.
Coloured sealant in Polton: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Polton takes in a number of hotels. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading. The east of Scotland, where Polton is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Occupiers with premises at both IMEX Business Centre and Bilston Glen Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. Units at places like Straiton Retail Park (1.6 miles north-west of Polton) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.

- 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.

Common questions from Polton clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Polton, such as IMEX Business Centre?
Yes. Our area takes in Polton and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as IMEX Business Centre included. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Polton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can we specify the colour by RAL number?
Yes. RAL references are a common way to specify sealant colour. We check what that product is made in and agree the nearest option.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Will the colour fade over time?
Exposed sealant can change in appearance over the years. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks, and resealing brings the look back.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What we’re called out for in Polton
Mould and staining discolour coloured joints in some areas. Mould that has rooted into a bead rarely cleans out.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Sealant that no longer suits recoated frames
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
Offices and shops close to stations such as Eskbank station (2.2 miles north-east of Polton) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.
