What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements as well as site permits.
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
FAQs: Garrowhill
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Strathclyde for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Garrowhill outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.

Busy facilities in and around Garrowhill
Garrowhill is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Halls linked to places like St John's Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. If you manage an office at a site such as Glasgow Business Park (0.7 miles north-east of Garrowhill), the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.

Our process
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 handed back before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Garrowhill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Why act early in Garrowhill
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Around smaller places like Garrowhill, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Garrowhill
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Colour agreed before work starts

- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
