Building owners, agents and FMs in Earlston
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Facade sealing in Earlston
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are cladding panel joints that have opened up and old perimeter mastic that has dried out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Earlston first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Earlston 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What else we do in Earlston
Signs you need facade sealing in Earlston
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
When units on a site such as Station Yard Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Earlston) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Earlston: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Earlston off your patch?
No. Places such as Earlston are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
New build and refits around Earlston
Earlston is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. Projects in Earlston follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
For contractors at a school such as Earlston High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as Dingleton Hospital (3.9 miles south-west of Earlston) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Earlston is about 5 miles east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. Anywhere in TD4, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our the Scottish Borders coverage takes in 91 places, large and small. For work in that direction, see our Edinburgh page, about 29 miles away.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. For a building near Earlston, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
