Common questions from Maxton clients
Would you work within a site like Dingleton Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Does your area include sites such as Tweed Horizons Business Centre, near Maxton?
Yes. We cover Maxton and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Tweed Horizons Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Outside, the joint has to be dry and the temperature within the product’s limits. Damp, frost or condensation on frames can stop work, so internal areas are often done on those days.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photos, and a fixed quote follows, with the work timed to your handover date.

Cost factors for mastic packages
These are the things that shape the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple and a consistent finish. Around smaller places like Maxton, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open.

New build and refits around Maxton
Being in the east of Scotland, Maxton gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We programme around it with the site team. Projects in Maxton follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
New wings at hospitals like Dingleton Hospital (4.8 miles north-west of Maxton) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Projects at colleges like Borders College - Newtown St Boswells Campus (to the west of Maxton) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Work at a hotel such as Buccleuch Arms Hotel (1.4 miles west of Maxton) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Maxton is about 8 miles south-east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. We cover commercial sites throughout Maxton. Maxton is one of 91 places in the Scottish Borders on our list for mastic packages. Our Edinburgh page has more on work in that area.

What we can’t put right
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)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
Surface by surface
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately, depending on what suits the programme.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent, plot by plot or floor by floor.
