Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Scottish Borders 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.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Commercial mastic work in Scottish Borders
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and on a working site that usually surfaces as a leak, a stain or a complaint from occupiers. We’re commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors looking after property in Scottish Borders. Our job is to diagnose the failure, remove the old bead and seal again using a product chosen for the movement and exposure. If you are dealing with leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Scottish Borders 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.
Quotes for commercial sealant in Scottish Borders can come from photographs and a joint schedule, or from a walk-round, with the scope listed so everyone knows what’s included.
In smaller Scottish places like Scottish Borders, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Colour matters on frontages and fit-outs, so the quote confirms which colours the chosen product comes in.

Questions about Scottish Borders
Is Scottish Borders too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can the sealant on our Scottish Borders premises match the finishes?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. Send colour references or photographs and we’ll confirm what’s available for the product.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will the building have to shut during the work?
We phase the work so parts of the building stay open. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
What affects the price in Scottish Borders
What shapes the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
Keep an eye out for other trades after we’ve gone. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed. Where work has disturbed a joint, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form for a quote.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need commercial sealant contractors in Scottish Borders
If only one face has lost its grip, that’s an adhesion failure. The usual causes are poor preparation, a missed primer, contamination on the joint face or sealant bonded to the base of the joint. We see it often where joints were sealed in a hurry.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall
- Gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
A lasting commercial joint around Scottish Borders begins with the old bead fully out and the faces clean and dry.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
