Construction mastic near Greenlaw
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
Construction mastic in Greenlaw, done properly
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is a long mastic snag list close to completion and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Greenlaw it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
External sealing around Greenlaw depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Common questions from Greenlaw clients
Is Greenlaw too far out for you?
Not at all. Greenlaw is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Greenlaw?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
How do you work with the site programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What does a mastic package typically include?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but frames, sanitary, kitchens, caulk where specified and snagging are typical.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Greenlaw. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What you get with us
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

Contractors’ notes for Greenlaw
Being in the east of Scotland, Greenlaw gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External dates keep a little give. Projects in Greenlaw follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
For contractors building in or near Greenlaw, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme. Hotels like Blackadder Hotel (to the south-west of Greenlaw) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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.
