Construction mastic in Ednam, done properly
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers. Most enquiries involve frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, across cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ednam, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site around Ednam, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common questions from Ednam clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kelso Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does your area include sites such as Rosewood Industrial Estate, near Ednam?
Yes, sites like Rosewood Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Ednam. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few days on a modest refurbishment and longer on multi-plot or multi-storey schemes. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are typically sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. We follow what’s specified with colours matched to the frame where needed.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted while moving joints need a flexible sealant.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Building and refurbishing in Ednam
Being in the east of Scotland, Ednam gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We programme around it with the site team. In Ednam, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
When units on a site such as Rosewood Industrial Estate (1.8 miles south of Ednam) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a healthcare site such as Kelso Hospital, which lies south of Ednam, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. School extensions, at buildings such as Kelso High School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
