The enquiries we see most involve water staining near frames, panels or ceilings and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, on external facade joints, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Peebles first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In Peebles, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: south-facing perimeters, entrance thresholds and busy washrooms.
For work in and around Peebles, we’d rather do everything on one trip, so it helps to have photographs and a full list first. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Peebles clients
Is Peebles too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Must a hotel around Peebles close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
It’s possible in older buildings, especially those built before 2000. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you work for facilities managers and managing agents?
Yes. You send the details, we return a fixed quote, and the job is done and signed off.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
Our workmanship on each job is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records so it’s easy to find if a joint we sealed gives trouble inside the 12 months.
In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are.
Sealant on show in Peebles’s commercial buildings
Being in the east of Scotland, Peebles gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work. We plan external frontages and frames around that A 2-mile radius around Peebles takes in several hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
A unit on an estate like Dovecot Industrial Estate, less than half a mile north of Peebles, normally has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. A business with units at Dovecot Industrial Estate and Southpark Industrial Estate needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Peebles is about 20 miles south of Edinburgh, in the Scottish Borders. We cover Peebles, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across the Scottish Borders, 91 places are covered, Peebles among them. Edinburgh is covered too, some 20 miles away.
Commercial sites across EH45 are covered for sealant joints. Streets here include High Street, Kingsland Square and St Michael's Wynd, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Peebles sits on or close to the A72 and A703, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. We also cover Cardrona (3 miles east), Cardrona Village (3 miles east), Eddleston (4 miles north), Innerleithen (6 miles south-east) and Walkerburn (7 miles east) for sealant joints. Further afield, our area takes in Galashiels (15 miles east), Selkirk (15 miles south-east), West Linton (9 miles north-west) and Clovenfords (13 miles east).

Quoting for work in Peebles
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
What we’re called out for in Peebles
Resealing over the top is a false economy we come across often. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath, so the top layer lifts, holds water and hides what’s going on. By the time it shows, there can be two or three layers to cut out.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point
- External beads that have gone brittle and cracked
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Expansion joints with the sealant torn out
Refits at hotels like Tontine Hotel (to the north-east of Peebles) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How they’ll work around occupants

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is often treated as an afterthought by the trade that fitted the element. 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. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Peebles. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
