Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Mortonhall
We have applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years, 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. We work on floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and wall and floor joints that have lost their seal. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Mortonhall tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Mortonhall can come from photos and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Around smaller places such as Mortonhall, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

Questions about Mortonhall
Will our hotel in Mortonhall need to close for the work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is Mortonhall off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
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.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
The paperwork is agreed with the quote: most clients ask for RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and we’ll put together a fixed quote and a sensible order of work.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. 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. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Commercial clients in Mortonhall
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Mortonhall can form part of a wider programme across Edinburgh.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mortonhall
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Mortonhall. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in Mortonhall choose us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Public liability insurance in place
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Mortonhall is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas, or we arrange a site visit.
- 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.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.

- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
