New build and refits around Innerleithen
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Innerleithen. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Innerleithen is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. We programme around it with the site team.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Traquair Arms Hotel, less than half a mile to the south-west of Innerleithen, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Extensions at sites like Hay Lodge Hospital, 5.8 miles to the west of Innerleithen, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Innerleithen is about 10 miles west of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. Our applicators travel to Innerleithen for work on mastic packages. We work across 91 places in the Scottish Borders, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Edinburgh page (23 miles or so).

How we handle construction mastic in Innerleithen
On a new build, the mastic package is one of the last trades through each area. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers on schemes in Innerleithen, sealing plot by plot or floor by floor as areas are released. If you have cracks opening in caulked internal joints and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, we can put it right, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Innerleithen? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Innerleithen is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions we are asked in Innerleithen
Can the mastic package for our job in Innerleithen follow the site programme?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Innerleithen off your patch?
Not at all. Innerleithen is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. Damage by others after we’ve finished isn’t covered.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and reduces snags.
Doing it in-house
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Innerleithen before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
