Mastic sealing in Clovenfords
Across Clovenfords and the rest of the Scottish Borders, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Clovenfords from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Clovenfords, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What we’re called out for in Clovenfords
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
If you look after a block within reach of Galashiels station, 2.7 miles east of Clovenfords, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Looking after buildings in and around Clovenfords
The east of Scotland, where Clovenfords is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
Historic properties like Peel House, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Clovenfords, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. Property owners at sites such as Comely Bank Mill Retail Park, 2.2 miles east of Clovenfords, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Clovenfords before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Questions about Clovenfords
We manage a building near Galashiels station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Clovenfords, such as Comely Bank Mill Retail Park?
Yes. We cover Clovenfords and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Comely Bank Mill Retail Park. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. 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. Internal work is far less affected.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Do you cover Clovenfords?
Yes. Clovenfords is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Cost factors for mastic joints
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
