Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Ancrum
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. If you have old repairs sealed over failed mastic and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ancrum, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Ancrum, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

What we’re called out for in Ancrum
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Trustees of buildings like Ancrum Old Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.

FAQs: Ancrum
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ancrum portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Station Industrial Estate, close to Ancrum?
Yes. We cover Ancrum and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Station Industrial Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you cover Ancrum?
Yes. Ancrum falls within our area, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.

Related advice
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Share your contractor requirements early
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
