Questions about Greenlaw
Is Greenlaw off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Greenlaw?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Facade sealing in Greenlaw
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. The enquiries we see most involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and cladding panel joints that have opened up, across shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Greenlaw, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site around Greenlaw, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Greenlaw before they leak.
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 we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Providing access systems for the work
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Greenlaw
Building and refurbishing in Greenlaw
In Greenlaw, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant. Greenlaw is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. 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.
On any site in or around Greenlaw, the mastic follows the specification and the programme. Work at a hotel such as Blackadder Hotel (to the south-west of Greenlaw) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Greenlaw are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
