Commercial sealant contractors across EH55: what to expect
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and movement joints packed with grit and debris, across external facade joints, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints.
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- We work out why the joints have failed and fix a quote for the agreed scope.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
What affects the price in EH55
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Around Polbeth
We work on buildings around West Calder. The closest station to Polbeth is West Calder station, about 0.8 miles south-west. Nearby you’ll also find Livingston Designer Outlet (2 miles north-east) and Almond Valley Heritage Centre (1.7 miles north). The countryside around Polbeth includes Dechmont Law.
Shops, offices and hotels in EH55
Shop fits, office refurbishments and hotel refits in towns such as Bellsquarry, Polbeth and West Calder all leave joints that need sealing. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
Across EH55, outside sealant work is planned around the weather, so we keep some flexibility in the dates.
Polbeth: If you run a unit on an estate such as Polbeth West Calder Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south-west of Polbeth, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse. In a retail centre such as The Centre (2.2 miles north-east of Polbeth), new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we’re called out for in EH55
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
Commercial clients in EH55

What affects the price in EH55
What shapes the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
Pricing sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
