How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint.
Facade sealing in Peel, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is facade joints cracked through the middle and patch repairs that keep failing. Searching for sealant specialists in Peel? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a site around Peel, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Questions we are asked in Peel
Is Peel too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Peel?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
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 will confirm with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. That is what makes the new joint last.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.

Mastic packages on Peel sites
The east of Scotland, where Peel is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready. Building work in Peel comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Hotels like Clovenfords Hotel, 1.3 miles north-east of Peel, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Older buildings in the area around Peel, such as Peel House (0.1 miles south-west of Peel), need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. On a campus such as Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus, 4.5 miles east of Peel, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year.
Peel is about 4 miles west of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. Our applicators travel to Peel for work on facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 91 places in the Scottish Borders, large and small. We also cover Edinburgh, around 26 miles from Peel.

Nearby places we also cover include Ashiestiel (1 mile north-west), Caddonfoot (1 mile east), Clovenfords (1 mile north-east), Broadmeadows (3 miles south-west) and Yarrowford (3 miles south-west) for facade joints.

Local landmarks in Peel
The nearest railway station is Galashiels station, about 3.8 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Old Gala House (3.6 miles east) and Peel Hill (4.8 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Haining Loch and Ashiesteel Hill.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near Peel, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
