Sealant specialists in Broughty Ferry
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. We work on washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down. For commercial sealant work in Broughty Ferry, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
The most common commercial job in Broughty Ferry is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
Natural stone gives a lot of Scottish city premises their character: sandstone in most, granite in Aberdeen. Sealing against stone means a neutral-cure sealant that leaves the stone unmarked and, where the joint is seen, a colour that blends.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Questions about Broughty Ferry
Will our hotel in Broughty Ferry need to close for the work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Our building in Broughty Ferry is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before cutting anything out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. Public liability insurance is in place too.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broughty Ferry
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. A careful reseal is a far smaller undertaking than replacement. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth, so we confirm it for each area at handover. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For premises in Broughty Ferry, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks

The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Broughty Ferry. 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. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Broughty Ferry. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Broughty Ferry station (to the south-west of Broughty Ferry) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Washrooms and toilets
Washroom joints take water, cleaning chemicals and constant use. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, with phased work so some facilities stay open.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
