Commercial sealant contractors in Saughtonhall, done properly
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, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are movement joints packed with grit and debris and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Saughtonhall is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For premises in Saughtonhall, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.

- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.

- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Questions about Saughtonhall
Is West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate, near Saughtonhall, within your area?
Yes. We cover Saughtonhall and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does the sea air around Saughtonhall change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is disturbed. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes, and through main contractors too. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
Do you cover Saughtonhall?
Yes. We cover Saughtonhall, and the simplest way to start is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
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.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
New joints need their full cure time before they take water, cleaning or traffic. 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, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
