When to call us in Hawick
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We stick to the specified product, or put any alternative to you first.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
Work at a hotel such as Balcary House Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south-west of Hawick, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
About our construction mastic in Hawick
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hawick? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Weather windows matter for outside mastic in a town like Hawick: joints must be dry and above the product’s minimum temperature. We keep in touch with the site manager so external work goes ahead on the right days, with internal sealant filling the rest.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. A leaking joint can damage finishes, stock and fittings inside. Early action limits what needs repairing.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters

Advice
Questions about Hawick
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Hawick?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hawick Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Where it’s specified, yes, working to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we will tell you.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are typically sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. We follow what’s specified, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Facades, frames and programmes in Hawick
Being in the east of Scotland, Hawick gets less rain than the west coast. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. A 2-mile radius around Hawick takes in several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Hawick Community Hospital (less than half a mile west of Hawick), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. New units and refits on sites such as Annfield Business Centre, under half a mile to the north of Hawick, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
