About our mastic sealing in Hawick
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. The enquiries we see most involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hawick it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a Scottish town such as Hawick, factored blocks, housing association estates and mixed-use buildings all need mastic maintained. Window perimeters and external joints on harled or rendered walls need a sealant able to bond to a rough face.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
FAQs: Hawick
Will you take on work at estates like Annfield Business Centre, close to Hawick?
Yes. We cover Hawick and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Annfield Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Hawick?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once, under a single quote and a single programme. A leaking joint can damage finishes, stock and fittings inside. Early action limits what needs repairing.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
