Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Construction mastic in Newmarket
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. If you have failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and mastic snags holding up handover, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Newmarket from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites near smaller places like Newmarket can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
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.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
When to call us in Newmarket
Value-engineered products sometimes end up in the wrong joints. A general-purpose silicone on a facade or a caulk in a wet area won’t perform like the specified product. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Look out for the following:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- New external sealant already peeling away
On a healthcare site such as Western Isles Hospital, 0.9 miles south of Newmarket, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Construction mastic in Newmarket: the local picture
Newmarket is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The area within 2 miles of Newmarket holds several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Gleann Seileach Business Park, 1 mile south of Newmarket, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Newmarket is about 1 mile north of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We cover commercial sites throughout Newmarket. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage takes in 87 places, large and small.

Newmarket: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Western Isles Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you take on a job in Newmarket, on the island?
Yes, Newmarket is within the area we cover. We work across every Scottish council area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photos and a full list first.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
It depends on the specification, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
