About our construction mastic in Burnmouth
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers. The enquiries we see most involve external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, across brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in Burnmouth, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Burnmouth that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: 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.

FAQs: Burnmouth
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Eyemouth Day Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Burnmouth, such as Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Burnmouth. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Are you CHAS accredited?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. Public liability insurance is in place.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Construction mastic around Burnmouth: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Burnmouth. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Building work in Burnmouth comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
When units on a site such as Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles north-west of Burnmouth, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Advice
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Burnmouth
- Cladding and panel joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. Around smaller places like Burnmouth, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Burnmouth
On construction sites, joints usually fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Eyemouth Day Hospital, 2.1 miles to the north of Burnmouth, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
