Our commercial sealant contractors service in ML3
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the documents buyers ask for are ready: we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. We work on floor and threshold joints, washrooms and tea points and external facade joints, and what we are called in for most is frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off.
When we get to site, 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 anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Commercial premises across ML3
In ML3, much commercial sealant work follows refits in shops, offices and hotels in places such as Hamilton, Burnbank and Hillhouse. Where the joint is on show, a colour that suits the finish is part of the job.
Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, ML3 among them. Longer journeys are planned so each job is done in one go if at all possible.
Hamilton: On estates like Allanshaw Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north-east of Hamilton, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. In hotels such as The Villa Hotel, 0.6 miles north of Hamilton, refurbishments typically mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Different surfaces, different methods
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. We will recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. They’re degreased thoroughly before resealing, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
Why deal with it now?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, which is where the lasting value is.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How joint depth will be controlled
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we’re called out for in ML3
Washrooms and kitchens wear sealant out in their own way. Constant moisture, cleaning chemicals and weak extraction let mould grow into the sealant, and once established it rarely cleans out. Replacement with a sanitary anti-mould silicone is the lasting answer.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
- Layers of sealant, all of them failing
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
FAQs: ML3
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship. Keeping joints clean and inspected helps them last well beyond that.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Which site documents can you send us?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
