Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.

Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

Common problems we fix in Bonnyrigg
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. If you manage more than one building in Bonnyrigg, they can be grouped. Give us access times for each.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Bonnyrigg: questions and answers
Will you work in a care home in Bonnyrigg without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Can you work at a site such as Dalhousie Business Park, by Bonnyrigg?
Yes, sites like Dalhousie Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bonnyrigg. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
