Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Share access with other external trades
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
How we handle facade sealing in Juniper Green
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Juniper Green. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you’re dealing with unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Juniper Green? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
External sealing around Juniper Green depends on dry faces and the right temperature. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Providing access systems for the work
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can work at a site such as Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Juniper Green, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

When to call us in Juniper Green
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Projects at colleges like Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus, 1.6 miles to the north of Juniper Green, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Mastic packages on Juniper Green sites
