Mastic packages on Stichill sites
The east of Scotland, where Stichill is, gets less rain than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions. Projects in Stichill follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Kelso Hospital, which lies south of Stichill, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors at a school such as Kelso High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Rosewood Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Stichill, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Stichill
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and what we are called in for most is failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and cold air coming in at window perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Stichill first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Stichill is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
Work we carry out in the Scottish Borders comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why act early in Stichill
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Stichill. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Questions we’re asked in Stichill
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kelso Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Stichill too far out for you?
Not at all. Stichill is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Stichill is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
