How we handle mastic sealing in Town Yetholm
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, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you’re dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Town Yetholm first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Town Yetholm, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions we’re asked in Town Yetholm
What site paperwork comes with a job in Town Yetholm?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Town Yetholm portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Town Yetholm. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What affects the price in Town Yetholm
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
