From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in West Pilton, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

About our commercial sealant contractors in West Pilton
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, floor and threshold joints and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Pilton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Quotes for commercial sealant in West Pilton can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
Working in a Scottish city means planning around loading rules, shared entrances and busy pavements. Give us your access times and any building rules and we’ll fit the work around them, phased so offices and shops keep trading.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Why deal with it now?
Reactive resealing, a leak at a time, tends to cost more overall than a plan. Planning the work across a year or a portfolio means fewer separate visits and a predictable spend. We can help you prioritise, starting with the joints most likely to let water in. In West Pilton, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Keep abrasive pads and scrapers off resealed joints
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, which is how mould gets back in. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest so the whole run is worth inspecting. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in West Pilton
FAQs: West Pilton
Do you cover business parks and estates near West Pilton, such as Drylaw Shopping Centre?
Yes. We cover West Pilton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Drylaw Shopping Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does a coastal location like West Pilton affect which sealant is used?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What site paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we’ll need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. The product depends on whether the joint will be painted.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Close-up photos or a site visit tell us what’s needed.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What West Pilton’s businesses ask us to seal
West Pilton lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. The area within 2 miles of West Pilton holds plenty of hotels. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme.
Shops and cafés around stations like Haymarket station, 2.3 miles south-east of West Pilton, trade from early, so work is timed around them. In hotels such as Village Hotel, 0.6 miles south-east of West Pilton, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. For a retailer at a site such as Drylaw Shopping Centre, which lies south of West Pilton, the joints clients see are as much part of the fit-out as the shelving.
