About our mastic sealing in Kirk Yetholm
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is draughts at frames across a block and movement joints with sealant missing. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kirk Yetholm, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Kirk Yetholm is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
Common questions from Kirk Yetholm clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in Kirk Yetholm?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Kirk Yetholm portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Is Kirk Yetholm in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Kirk Yetholm.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs near Kirk Yetholm are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
