Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Mastic sealing in Jedburgh, done properly
Across Jedburgh 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. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Whoever orders the work in Jedburgh, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Jedburgh, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails 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.

Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why act early in Jedburgh
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Jedburgh, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Jedburgh
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Failed external movement joints
Site managers at schools like Jedburgh Grammar School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near Jedburgh, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Advice
Your questions answered
Will you price a mastic programme across our Jedburgh portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Can you work at a site such as Bongate Industrial Estate, by Jedburgh?
Yes. Our area takes in Jedburgh and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bongate Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you cover Jedburgh?
Yes. We cover Jedburgh and the rest of the Scottish Borders, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Jedburgh
Jedburgh is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you are responsible for a building such as Boston Church and Offices, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For owners of several units at places like Bongate Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north of Jedburgh, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
