How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms

Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Mid Yell
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant behind washroom basins and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Mid Yell from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Mid Yell, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant normally can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What else we do in Mid Yell
Building owners, agents and FMs in Mid Yell
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Mid Yell. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Why act early in Mid Yell
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. 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 Mid Yell, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. 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.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Advice
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Common questions from Mid Yell clients
Do you work on the island where Mid Yell is?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Mid Yell. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Will all the washrooms in our Mid Yell building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Busy facilities in and around Mid Yell
Mid Yell is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. For an island location such as Mid Yell, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Send photographs of each washroom and how many there are, so the visit is planned properly.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St John's Church And Churchyard, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Schools such as Mid Yell Junior High School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.
