About our commercial sealant contractors in Burnbrae
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors looking after property in Burnbrae. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. Most enquiries involve damp patches where an external joint has failed and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, on movement joints in walls and floors, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints. Whoever orders the work in Burnbrae, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Occupied buildings in Burnbrae need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
For work in and around Burnbrae, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photos and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. We cut out mouldy or split beads and reseal in anti-mould sanitary silicone, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Joints around counters, displays and shopfront frames have to look tidy as well as seal, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Questions about Burnbrae
Can the sealant on our Burnbrae premises match the finishes?
Yes, we can normally get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Does your area include sites such as Glenburn Industrial Estate, near Burnbrae?
Yes. Our area takes in Burnbrae and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Glenburn Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can areas stay open during the work?
That comes down to planning: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Let us know what can’t close and we will work around it.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Burnbrae can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Quoting for work in Burnbrae
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

What else we do in Burnbrae
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Deal with small splits before they become leaks
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
Let your cleaning contractor know what’s new. Abrasive pads, scrapers and some strong chemicals damage sealant surfaces; a mild cleaner is all most joints need.
Sealant installed at the same time normally fails in sequence. The first failures are often a warning about the rest, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We’ll tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Burnbrae, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen; brand colours often come into it. Being in the east of Scotland, Burnbrae gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that
