From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Peebles is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.

Peebles is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
If your remit includes a building such as Peebles High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you own or manage units on a site such as Dovecot Industrial Estate (less than half a mile north of Peebles), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Also in Peebles
When to call us in Peebles
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, 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.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Peebles Old Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
FAQs: Peebles
Can you work at a site such as Dovecot Industrial Estate, by Peebles?
Yes. We cover Peebles and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Dovecot Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Peebles?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Why it’s worth doing now in Peebles
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. For buildings near Peebles, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
