From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Greenhill, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Sealant applicators in Greenhill
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Greenhill from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
If you look after more than one building near Greenhill, the work can be planned as one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
Scottish weather decides a lot about outside work in a place like Greenhill: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Black sealant in a toilet block is normally beyond cleaning. Replacement is the fix: strip, clean, dry and reseal.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work usually has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, working in sections where that helps.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
Common questions from Greenhill clients
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Greenhill?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Is Greenhill too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts, and the faces are brought back to sound, dry material before resealing.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

What else we do in Greenhill
What affects the price in Greenhill
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- When you need the work done
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’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Sealant on show in Greenhill’s commercial buildings
Being in the east of Scotland, Greenhill gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind Two named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Greenhill. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
A unit on an estate like Chattan Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles north-east of Greenhill, normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. Sites a few miles apart, such as Chattan Industrial Estate and Tamfourhill Industrial Estate, can share one programme and one point of contact. For premises near Camelon station (3 miles east of Greenhill), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
