Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions

Contractors’ notes for Galashiels
Being in the east of Scotland, Galashiels gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. Projects in Galashiels follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Borders General Hospital, which lies south-east of Galashiels, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Work at a hotel such as Kingsknowes Hotel (1.1 miles south-east of Galashiels) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Common problems we fix in Galashiels
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
Projects at colleges like Borders College - Galashiels Campus, 0.9 miles south-east of Galashiels, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in Galashiels are planned with two things in mind: the forecast for external joints and the building’s hours for internal ones. Photos or drawings let us give a fixed quote and a realistic plan.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies.
