Sites and facades in and around Jedburgh
Building work in Jedburgh comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Jedburgh has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Royal Hotel, which lies west of Jedburgh, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. New units and refits on sites such as Bongate Industrial Estate (to the north of Jedburgh) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Jedburgh is about 10 miles east of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. We send applicators to Jedburgh for mastic packages. Across the Scottish Borders, 91 places are covered, Jedburgh among them. Edinburgh is covered too, around 41 miles from Jedburgh.
Anyone looking for construction mastic in TD8 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

How we handle construction mastic in Jedburgh
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 with projects in Jedburgh. Site teams most often ask us about old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Jedburgh, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller places such as Jedburgh, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.

No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photographs and we will price it, then clear it to your programme.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Jedburgh
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
When a school such as Jedburgh Grammar School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Jedburgh, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
