How commercial sealant contractors works in TD14
How long a joint lasts is decided before any sealant leaves the gun. Old silicone gives new sealant nothing to grip, so every trace of it is removed, then both faces are cleaned back to sound, dry material with no dust or grease on them. Primer is used wherever the manufacturer calls for it on that surface and the joint depth is controlled with backing rod. The enquiries we see most involve layers of sealant, all of them failing and external beads that have gone brittle and cracked, across movement joints in walls and floors, washrooms and tea points and floor and threshold joints.
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts.
- Site photos, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.

Landmarks near Eyemouth
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Eyemouth and The Lobster Pot pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Reston station, roughly 4.1 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Press Castle (4.5 miles west) and Eyemouth Museum (less than half a mile east). The countryside around Eyemouth includes Mire Loch and Ayton Hill.
Commercial premises across TD14
From Eyemouth, Ayton and Coldingham outwards, TD14 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.
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. We seal to what has been specified, on every job. On the coastal side of TD14, sea-facing elevations usually show failed joints first.
Eyemouth: For premises near Reston station (4.1 miles west of Eyemouth), footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. Refits at hotels like The Ship Hotel, under half a mile east of Eyemouth, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
Surface by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. Access, such as scaffold already up, is agreed before the price is fixed.
Window and door perimeters
Inside, cracked sealant around frames and window boards is common. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t, in a shade that suits the frame.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
Signs you need commercial sealant contractors
External sealant takes a steady beating from the weather. UV hardens the surface while wind and rain work at the edges. Once it stiffens, the joint opens up at the next big temperature swing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
Questions about TD14
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every scrap of failed sealant is removed before the new bead goes on. Sealing over traps water and lifts once the joint moves and isn’t worth paying for.
Is your work guaranteed?
Each job sits under our 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joints as we advise helps them last.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form.
