Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Newtown St Boswells
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Newtown St Boswells first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Newtown St Boswells, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Newtown St Boswells. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send your site hours and access windows

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newtown St Boswells
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. For buildings near Newtown St Boswells, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Newtown St Boswells: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Tweed Horizons Business Centre, close to Newtown St Boswells?
Yes. Our area takes in Newtown St Boswells and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Tweed Horizons Business Centre included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Newtown St Boswells too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Newtown St Boswells are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you need mastic sealing in Newtown St Boswells?
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Student blocks close to universities like Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus (4.7 miles north-west of Newtown St Boswells) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
