Commercial sealant contractors in South Lanarkshire: how it works

On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. Site teams most often ask us about leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down, on window and door perimeters, external facade joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks.

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact.

Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

Near you in East Kilbride

We work on buildings around Duncanrig Secondary School, The Hay Stook pub and East Kilbride, among other places. The nearest railway station is East Kilbride station, roughly 0.7 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find East Kilbride Shopping Centre (0.6 miles east) and Mains Castle (1.4 miles north). The countryside around East Kilbride includes Cathkin Braes.

Shops, offices and hotels in South Lanarkshire

Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cambuslang all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.

Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. Our part is sealing to the specification, whatever the building.

East Kilbride: If you look after units at a retail site such as Queensway Retail Park, 0.8 miles to the north-west of East Kilbride, shopfront perimeters and shop-fit joints are where a matched colour shows. Shops and cafés around stations like East Kilbride station, 0.7 miles to the north-east of East Kilbride, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

When something else is needed

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant

Common problems we fix in South Lanarkshire

If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. Normally the movement was too much for the sealant chosen: a bead laid too thin, an over-stretched joint or the wrong movement class. Replacing it like for like rarely holds.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
Mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops
Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
External beads that have gone brittle and cracked

Commercial clients in South Lanarkshire

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?

For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

How the job changes by surface

Shop fronts and retail fit-outs

Shop fits put sealant right in front of clients. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Fire-rated seals where specified

Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control.

Questions about South Lanarkshire

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured for public liability as well.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

Which sealant will you use?

The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Can weather delay the job?

It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.

Is the old sealant taken out first?

Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.

How do we get a quote?

Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. For a fixed quote, send details through our quote form.
