Mastic sealing across Midlothian: what to expect

Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve damp patches beside frames and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks.

Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area.

First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
Failed mastic is removed completely.
Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
We finish each building before moving to the next.

Mastic sealing across Midlothian: the area picture

Portfolio owners and agents in Midlothian can bring buildings in places such as Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith and Penicuik under one programme and one quote. We work to your notice and access plan, one building at a time.

Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, Midlothian among them. Longer journeys are planned so each job is done in one go if at all possible. Along the coast in Midlothian, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, so work is often best planned for quieter months.

Bonnyrigg: Trustees of buildings like Bonnyrigg Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Eskbank station, 1.1 miles north-east of Bonnyrigg, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

What happens if it’s left?

Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing.

Questions to ask before you book

Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

What we are called out for in Midlothian

Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.

Things that usually lead to an enquiry:

Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Leaks at window and door perimeters
Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Worn sealant at communal door frames

When something else is needed

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove

Owners, agents and contractors

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.

How the job changes by surface

External movement joints

Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.

Planned maintenance

Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.

Questions about Midlothian

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?

Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.

Do you work in Midlothian?

Yes. We cover Midlothian, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?

A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

How long do sealant joints last?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

How long does a typical visit take?

That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.

What do you charge?

There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
