About commercial sealant contractors in IV11
Sealant joints are easy to overlook until one lets water in. Mastic Doctor works as a commercial sealant contractor for facilities managers, managing agents and main contractors looking after property in IV11. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. The enquiries we see most involve greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point and messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, washrooms and tea points and window and door perimeters.
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photographs, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- 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.
- We fit backing to the right depth, prime where specified and lay the new bead.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
How we quote
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why choose Mastic Doctor
- Public liability insurance in place
- One number for every site we cover
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Every quote starts with the facts: 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.

Commercial premises across IV11
From Cromarty and Davidston outwards, IV11 has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but external sealing anywhere in Scotland needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so we keep some flexibility in the dates. In the parts of IV11 near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first.
Cromarty: In hotels such as The Royal Hotel, less than half a mile north-west of Cromarty, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes. For any commercial premises in Cromarty, a lasting joint depends on full removal of the old sealant and clean, dry faces.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Why it fails
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. File the handover note with the building records.
An open joint in a food area or toilet collects dirt and moisture that cleaning can’t reach. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are.
What affects the price in IV11
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The total length or number of joints
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Your questions answered
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Do you take on multi-site sealant work?
Yes, across South East England, Greater London and all of Scotland. One contact and one process for every building makes a portfolio easier to manage.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Full removal is part of every quote. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Start with whatever information is to hand. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price. For older buildings we will ask for the asbestos register, plus your site induction rules.
