Commercial sealant contractors in Lochore, done properly
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed and the faces are cleaned until they’re sound and dry, with no dust or grease left. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open and gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks. For commercial sealant work in Lochore, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
If you look after more than one building near Lochore, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
For a job around Lochore, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

What else we do in Lochore
Your questions answered
Is Crosshill Business Centre, near Lochore, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Lochore and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Crosshill Business Centre included. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Lochore too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
That comes down to planning: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Lochore
A split down the middle of the bead tells a different story. That usually means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with because the bead was too thin, the joint over-stretched or the movement class wrong. Replacing it like for like rarely holds, so width, depth and product are checked before we quote.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
On a business park such as Crosshill Business Centre, less than half a mile to the south of Lochore, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their public liability cover
