Sealant specialists in New Lanark
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: 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 external facade joints, window and door perimeters and washrooms and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job. For commercial sealant work in New Lanark, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
A lot of what we do in New Lanark is replacing sealant that has done its years: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
Travel to smaller places such as New Lanark is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. Several jobs nearby can also be put together.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Frontages, fit-outs and joints in New Lanark
The area within 2 miles of New Lanark holds several hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Being in the east of Scotland, New Lanark gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Refits at hotels like New Lanark Mill Hotel, under half a mile west of New Lanark, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. For premises near Lanark station, which lies north-east of New Lanark, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. For a retailer at a site such as Braidfute Retail Park, 0.7 miles north-east of New Lanark, the joints customers see are as much part of the fit-out as the shelving.
New Lanark is about 1 mile south of Lanark, in South Lanarkshire. Any commercial site in New Lanark is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Across South Lanarkshire, 134 places are covered, including New Lanark. There’s a separate page for Glasgow, about 23 miles away.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
Put sealant on the planned maintenance checklist. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, especially on exposed elevations and in washrooms. Should something look amiss, you can phone 01277 525 020 or email us and send a picture.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Gaps and ragged beads trap dirt that cleaning can’t reach, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products, such as collars, wraps and batts, are specified for different services.
What affects the price in New Lanark
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For a building near New Lanark, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations.
- 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.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- We walk the completed areas with you and sign them off under the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Flag any permit to work we will need

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Which site documents can you send us?

Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Removal comes first, every time. Then the joint is cleaned, primed where the maker specifies, backed to depth and resealed.
