For owners and agents in Newbattle
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Newbattle. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. Newbattle is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Older community buildings, Newbattle Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. For owners of several units at places like Hardengreen Business Park, less than half a mile north-west of Newbattle, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

About our mastic sealing in Newbattle
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are communal area joints that look neglected and no planned programme for sealant. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Newbattle is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Newbattle, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What affects the price in Newbattle
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
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 quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
What we’re called out for in Newbattle
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Look out for the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Failed external movement joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
If your remit includes a building such as Dalkeith High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Why act early in Newbattle
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 Newbattle, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Newbattle, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Your questions answered
Is Newbattle off your patch?
Not at all. Newbattle is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Newbattle?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
