Commercial sealant contractors in EH45: how it works
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Work is scheduled around the site hours and access windows you give us. That applies whether the building is an office, a shop, a hotel, a college or a care home. We work on external facade joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and washrooms and tea points, and what we are called in for most is greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and movement joints packed with grit and debris.
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
How we quote
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
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 will fill any gaps with a visit.
Around Peebles
Recent enquiries here include premises near Peebles High School, Peebles Old Parish Church and County Hotel and the streets around them. Nearby you will also find Peebles Castle (less than half a mile west) and Hay Lodge Hospital (less than half a mile west). Not far away are Ven Law.
Commercial premises across EH45
The commercial stock in EH45 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Peebles, Cardrona Village and Cardrona and beyond. Surfaces decide the sealant, from masonry to powder-coated frames and shop-fit panels.
In Scotland, managing agents for tenements are often called property factors, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts.
Peebles: Industrial estates such as Dovecot Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north of Peebles) have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. For a hotel such as Tontine Hotel, under half a mile to the north-east of Peebles, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, but external and wet-area joints that already leak shouldn’t wait. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. Failed perimeters are cut out and cleaned, backing goes into deeper gaps, and the joint is resealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another suitable product.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Close-up photographs or a site visit tell us what’s needed.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
No sealant joint is permanent. How long one lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure to sun and weather, the cleaning regime, the traffic and the product itself. On a busy commercial site several of those pile up at once, which is why regular inspection pays.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Leaks that seem to come through a sealant line
- Earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job

Questions we are asked in EH45
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Public liability insurance is in place too.
What do you need from us to quote?
Send photographs, drawings or a list of locations through the quote form on this site. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves and isn’t worth paying for.
