About our commercial sealant contractors in Greenbank
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. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. Most enquiries involve external beads that have gone brittle and cracked and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, across washrooms and tea points, floor and threshold joints and movement joints in walls and floors. Searching for sealant specialists in Greenbank? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
In Greenbank, as anywhere, the first joints to go are normally the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
City-centre premises in Scotland often come with tight access, shared closes and loading restrictions. Give us your access times and any building rules and we will fit the work around them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Greenbank as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Greenbank
Why act early in Greenbank
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. New sealant laid on old silicone has nothing to bond to, so it peels. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last. Getting access arranged for a building in Greenbank takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Commercial sealant contractors around Greenbank: what changes locally
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Greenbank. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Being in the east of Scotland, Greenbank gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. We plan external frontages and frames around that
In hotels such as Braid Hills Hotel, which lies east of Greenbank, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. Shops and cafés around stations like Slateford station (to the north-west of Greenbank) trade from early, so work is timed around them. If you have premises on more than one site, say at West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate and Edinburgh West Retail Park, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Greenbank is about 2 miles south of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We send applicators to Greenbank for sealant joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Greenbank is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.
We take on sealant joints across the EH10, EH13 and EH14 postcode area. If your site is on Braid Road, Comiston Road and Greenbank Road or close by, we can quote for sealant joints. Greenbank sits on or close to the A702, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Sites close to Greenbank are covered too, including Comiston (1 mile south-east), Firrhill (1 mile west), Oxgangs (1 mile south), Colinton Mains (1 mile south-west) and Morningside (1 mile north-east). A short drive away, we cover Leith (5 miles north-east), Bonnington (4 miles north), Greenside (3 miles north-east), Broughton (3 miles north), Bellevue (3 miles north) and Silvermills (3 miles north).
Around Greenbank
We work on buildings around Craiglockhart Primary School, Iain Tomlin School of Music and Harrison Park and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Slateford station, roughly 1.2 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Edinburgh City Hospital (less than half a mile west) and Merchiston Tower (1.2 miles north). The countryside around Greenbank includes Duddingston Loch and Craiglockhart Hill.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- First, details come to us: photos, 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.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Agree which areas must stay open

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Intumescent and other fire-rated sealants go in at service penetrations and linear gaps to the maker’s tested details, where they are specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping belong to the designer and building control.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Greenbank: questions and answers
Must a hotel around Greenbank close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Greenbank?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
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.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: areas are phased, access windows agreed and enough washrooms or entrances left in use. Let us know what can’t close and we’ll work around it.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
