How we handle facade sealing in Scottish Borders
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. Site teams most often ask us about old perimeter mastic that has dried out and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. For commercial sealant work in Scottish Borders, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
External sealing around Scottish Borders 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 is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Scottish Borders
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Questions we’re asked in Scottish Borders
Our building in Scottish Borders is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Scottish Borders, such as Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Scottish Borders and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Industrial Estate. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Scottish Borders. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Getting a fixed quote
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Related advice
Facade sealing in Scottish Borders: the local picture
Scottish Borders sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Scottish Borders is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles south-east of Scottish Borders, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. New wings at hospitals like Eyemouth Day Hospital, 2.9 miles to the south-east of Scottish Borders, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Scottish Borders is in Scotland. Anywhere in TD14, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 91 places in the Scottish Borders. For work in that direction, see our Edinburgh page.

Commercial clients in Scottish Borders
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
