Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints
About our facade sealing in Wilton
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. We work on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and damp patches beside frames after rain. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Wilton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites near smaller places like Wilton can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Hawick Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Wilton off your patch?
Not at all. Wilton is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Wilton before they leak.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

New build and refits around Wilton
Building work in Wilton comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. Wilton is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External dates keep a little give.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Balcary House Hotel, which lies south-west of Wilton, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New units and refits on sites such as Annfield Business Centre, under half a mile to the east of Wilton, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Wilton is about 1 mile west of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. We cover Wilton, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. 91 places across the Scottish Borders fall within our area, Wilton among them. Sites around Edinburgh have their own page, about 39 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Wilton
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Hospital estates such as Hawick Community Hospital (to the south-west of Wilton) 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their public liability cover
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Wilton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Related advice
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
