Mastic sealing for Scottish Borders sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Scottish Borders is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Get a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Mastic sealing in Scottish Borders
Managing agents and housing associations typically 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 shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Scottish Borders from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Scottish Borders, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Scottish Borders
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. For buildings near Scottish Borders, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible

What else we do in Scottish Borders
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Scottish Borders can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When to call us in Scottish Borders
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Failed external movement joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
If you look after a block within reach of Reston station, 3 miles south-west of Scottish Borders, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Scottish Borders: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Reston station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Our building in Scottish Borders is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What paperwork can you provide?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Blocks and managed buildings in Scottish Borders
Scottish Borders lies within about 2 miles of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first, and they deserve more regular inspection. The east of Scotland, where Scottish Borders is, gets less rain than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Property owners at sites such as Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles to the south-east of Scottish Borders, can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Scottish Borders is in Scotland. We cover commercial sites throughout Scottish Borders, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 91 places in the Scottish Borders. There’s a separate page for Edinburgh, about 41 miles away.
We cover the TD14 postcode districts for mastic joints. Among the streets we cover are West Loch Road, Reston Road and Creel Path, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Just outside Scottish Borders, we also work in Coldingham (1 mile south), St Abbs (1 mile north-east), Eyemouth (3 miles south-east), Reston (3 miles south-west) and Ayton (3 miles south).
