Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Borgh
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you’re dealing with weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Borgh tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites near smaller places like Borgh can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Signs you need facade sealing in Borgh
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
On any site in or around Borgh, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.

Questions we’re asked in Borgh
Does a coastal location like Borgh affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you take on a job in Borgh, on the island?
Yes, Borgh is within the area we cover. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photographs and a full list before we travel are essential.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Borgh, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected

What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Borgh, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Borgh. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. Projects in Borgh follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Work at a hotel such as Borve Country House Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Borgh, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
