Facade sealing in Sprouston, done properly
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 shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we are called in for most is cold air coming in at window perimeters and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Sprouston? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Sprouston that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
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.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Sprouston with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- 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
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

New build and refits around Sprouston
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Sprouston warrants come from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Being in the east of Scotland, Sprouston gets less rain than the west coast. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give.
Hospital estates such as Kelso Hospital (to the west of Sprouston) 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. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Rosewood Industrial Estate (to the west of Sprouston) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. When a school such as Kelso High School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Sprouston is about 16 miles east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. We cover commercial sites throughout Sprouston, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 91 places in the Scottish Borders, large and small. Sites around Edinburgh have their own page, about 39 miles away.
We cover the TD5 postcode districts. If your site is on Dean Road and Deanfield or close by, we can quote for facade joints. We also cover Kelso (2 miles west), Ednam (2 miles north-west), Stichill (3 miles north-west), Heiton (4 miles south-west) and Eccles (4 miles north). A short drive away, we cover Jedburgh (11 miles south-west), Duns (12 miles north), Melrose (13 miles west), Earlston (11 miles west), Langlee (15 miles west) and St Boswells (10 miles west).

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Questions about Sprouston
Is Sprouston too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Kelso Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
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 do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
