What affects the price in Caddonfoot
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Distance, for remote addresses
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for

Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Around smaller places like Caddonfoot, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Caddonfoot: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Galashiels station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Caddonfoot too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Caddonfoot are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
