About our commercial sealant contractors in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. We work on washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In Bràigh na h-Aoidhe, as anywhere, the first joints to go are usually the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
In smaller Scottish places like Bràigh na h-Aoidhe, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Will you travel to Bràigh na h-Aoidhe on the island?
Yes, Bràigh na h-Aoidhe is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. A large share of our work comes through facilities managers, managing agents and landlords, alongside main contractors. We can work to your instruction process and site rules.
Which site documents can you send us?
Send your site requirements with the enquiry, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested.
Commercial clients in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
What happens if it’s left?
A cheaper quote sometimes means the old bead stays in. 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, because that’s what makes the new bead last. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Bràigh na h-Aoidhe. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What we’re called out for in Bràigh na h-Aoidhe
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. New silicone has nothing to key into so it soon peels and traps moisture against the joint. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
A lasting commercial joint around Bràigh na h-Aoidhe begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
