Facade sealing in St Boswells
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with staining on stone next to old sealant and patch repairs that keep failing, we can help, on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints alike. Whoever orders the work in St Boswells, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
External sealing around St Boswells depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.

Building owners, agents and FMs in St Boswells
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. St Boswells can form part of a wider programme across the Scottish Borders.
What we’re called out for in St Boswells
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Extensions at sites like Dingleton Hospital, 3.7 miles west of St Boswells, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Facade sealing around St Boswells: what changes locally
St Boswells is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. 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. Building work in St Boswells comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
When a college such as Borders College - Newtown St Boswells Campus, 1 mile to the west of St Boswells, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. When units on a site such as Tweed Horizons Business Centre (to the north-west of St Boswells) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds and avoids repeat call-outs. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
