Mastic sealing in Borestone
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Most enquiries involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and worn sealant at communal door frames, across communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints. Most enquiries from Borestone start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Borestone, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Borestone. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Questions we are asked in Borestone
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Stirling station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Borestone too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Blocks and managed buildings in Borestone
Borestone is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you look after a block within reach of Stirling station, which lies north of Borestone, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. If you own or manage units on a site such as Laurelhill Business Park, 2.1 miles north of Borestone, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Student accommodation around universities such as University of Stirling (4.6 miles north of Borestone) is typically managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

What else we do in Borestone
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Borestone. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
