When to call us in Stenton
In wet areas the enemy is normally mould rather than movement. Damp, harsh cleaning products and poor ventilation let mould take hold inside the bead, and once established it rarely cleans out. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
Look out for the following:
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
A lasting commercial joint around Stenton begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.

Sealant applicators in Stenton
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors looking after property in Stenton. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. We work on window and door perimeters, washrooms and tea points and movement joints in walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and movement joints packed with grit and debris. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Stenton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
If you look after more than one building near Stenton, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Travel to smaller places such as Stenton is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. We confirm the access in place before we quote.

What else we do in Stenton
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial premises in Stenton
Stenton is within about 3 miles of the coast. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Stenton is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range
Shops and cafés around stations like East Linton station (2.9 miles north-west of Stenton) trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Common questions from Stenton clients
Is Stenton off your patch?
Not at all. Stenton is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Stenton?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. Available colours for the product are confirmed with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Which site documents can you send us?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Stenton with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with the evidence: photos, drawings or a look on site.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected

- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: 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.
Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply
