Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The State Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is West End off your patch?
Not at all. West End is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
About our facade sealing in West End
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in West End, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like West End 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs near West End are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Building owners, agents and FMs in West End
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters

Quoting for work in West End
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
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.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
