How we handle mastic sealing in North Middleton
Across North Middleton and the rest of Midlothian, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you have window mastic that has split and shrunk and water getting in round frames after rain, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in North Middleton tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as North Middleton, 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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from North Middleton clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our North Middleton portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you quote for a block close to Gorebridge station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you cover North Middleton?
Yes. We take on work across North Middleton.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

What affects the price in North Middleton
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in North Middleton can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Track which buildings were done and when
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
When to call us in North Middleton
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:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- No planned programme for sealant
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Communal area joints that look neglected
If you look after a block within reach of Gorebridge station, 1.6 miles to the north-west of North Middleton, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
