Leave it or put it right?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. For buildings near Boreland, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
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.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Looking after buildings in and around Boreland
The west of Scotland, where Boreland is, gets more rain than the east. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.

What affects the price in Boreland
These are the things that shape the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
When to call us in Boreland
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Boreland, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Questions about Boreland
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Boreland?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Boreland too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Boreland is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
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.

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.
