Coloured sealant for commercial buildings in Scottish Borders
A colour-matched bead still has to work as a seal. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces, exactly as for a standard colour. Clean masking and steady tooling give the sharp lines colour work needs. If you’re dealing with joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour and old colour-matched joints lifting at the edges, we can help, on natural stone and brick, office fit-out finishes and shop-fit joinery and counters alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Scottish Borders, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For work in and around Scottish Borders, we’d rather do everything on one trip: send photos 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why act early in Scottish Borders
Across a chain of shops or hotels, consistency matters. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same from one fit-out to the next. Around smaller places like Scottish Borders, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Hotel interiors
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. We plan around your occupancy so rooms return to service in stages.
Cladding panels
Multi-coloured cladding needs a joint colour that works across it. Sometimes a mid-tone suits better than matching one panel, and a sample settles it.
Commercial premises in Scottish Borders
The east of Scotland, where Scottish Borders is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

FAQs: Scottish Borders
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Scottish Borders?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Send colour references or photos and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
Which documents can you supply for work in Scottish Borders?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
