Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Burnmouth: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Burnmouth affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Will you take on a block within reach of Reston station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Burnmouth in your area?
Yes. We cover Burnmouth, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.

What else we do in Burnmouth
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Work for main contractors and building owners
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Burnmouth can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Surface by surface
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Burnmouth, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- 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.

Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open

- Confirm the product named in the specification
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
