How commercial sealant contractors works in TD3
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005, and the paperwork side is in order: CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, five million pounds of public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. Most enquiries involve frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and washrooms and tea points.
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
- Site photographs, 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.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Shops, offices and hotels in TD3
Across TD3, from Gordon and Westruther to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. 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.
Gordon: A lasting commercial joint around Gordon begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry. Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.
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’ll confirm with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Why deal with it now?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, the three things that decide how long a joint lasts. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
How the job changes by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. They need a sealant with the right movement capability, laid at the right depth. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
In retail, sealant is on show. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line, often in a colour to suit the brand finish. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Why it fails
Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
Questions we’re asked in TD3
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Send photos, drawings or a list of locations through our quote form. If a visit is needed we’ll book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
The old bead is stripped out first. After that come cleaning, primer where needed, backing and the new sealant.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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.
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes. We quote, schedule and report back in the way that suits your process, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
Which site documents can you send us?
Let us know your requirements when you ask for a price, and the paperwork is confirmed with the quote. From you, we will need the asbestos information for older buildings and any site rules.
