How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Askomill
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off and water staining near frames, panels or ceilings, on washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Askomill tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Askomill can put several sites on one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Travel to smaller places such as Askomill is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: 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 behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. Shop refits, new services and replaced fittings often break the seal around them. If that happens, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will price putting it right.
Once sealant fails in a movement joint, grit and debris get in. With nothing soft to close against, the materials either side take the load and start to break up. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, which is where the lasting value is. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Askomill, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Sealant on show in Askomill’s commercial buildings
Askomill sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Being in the west of Scotland, Askomill gets more rain than eastern areas. Frontage work is booked with a few days’ give for the weather. Weather-facing frames tend to need resealing before the sheltered ones
A hotel such as Craigard House - Hotel (to the east of Askomill) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. If you run an office at a site such as Hazelburn Business Park, 0.6 miles west of Askomill, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out.

Questions we are asked in Askomill
Does a hotel in Askomill need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is Askomill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Askomill is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. Use our quote form to send the site details, or phone or email us.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
