What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product and we choose accordingly.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers normally stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
How we handle mastic sealing in Eddleston
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Eddleston first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Eddleston is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints.

- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.

Advice
FAQs: Eddleston
Which documents can you supply for work in Eddleston?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Eddleston?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.

When to call us in Eddleston
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Trustees of buildings like Eddleston Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Comparing quotes
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Eddleston can form part of a wider programme across the Scottish Borders.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
