Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Polmont outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Falkirk Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Snag-only work is something we take on, cutting out damaged or poor joints and resealing them.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
About our construction mastic in Polmont
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. We work on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cracks opening in caulked internal joints and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Polmont first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In smaller places such as Polmont, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Commercial clients in Polmont
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

On site: what to expect
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 whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Polmont. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and reduces snags.
Kitchens and utility areas
Kitchen joints are sealed after fitting and before final clean. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.
Facades, frames and programmes in Polmont
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Polmont. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The east of Scotland, where Polmont is, gets less rain than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External dates keep a little give.
For contractors at a college like SPS College, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Polmont, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Units on estates such as Inchyra Industrial Estate (to the north of Polmont) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Hospital estates such as Falkirk Community Hospital (to the west of Polmont) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

What else we do in Polmont
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. For buildings near Polmont, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- One number for every site we cover
- Public liability insurance in place
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
