Construction mastic for Kirk Yetholm sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Kirk Yetholm
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Kirk Yetholm before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Construction mastic in Kirk Yetholm, done properly
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, which puts it right on the critical path. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers with projects in Kirk Yetholm. We work on cladding and panel joints, internal decorators’ caulk and floor and skirting junctions, and what we’re called in for most is cracks opening in caulked internal joints and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kirk Yetholm from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Kirk Yetholm that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Kirk Yetholm clients
Is Kirk Yetholm too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Kirk Yetholm is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Kirk Yetholm?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
How do you work with the site programme?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready, and we will raise anything that holds the work up.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

What else we do in Kirk Yetholm
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released. Where we can, we combine work around Kirk Yetholm with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
