How we handle mastic sealing in Romannobridge
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you are dealing with failed external movement joints and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Romannobridge is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Romannobridge, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Your questions answered
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Romannobridge?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Romannobridge too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Romannobridge are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
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.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

What else we do in Romannobridge
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
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 something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Romannobridge, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. For buildings near Romannobridge, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
