Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Wilton, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Wilton
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. 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. We work on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are water getting in round frames after rain and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. Most enquiries from Wilton start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Wilton, 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done

Your questions answered
Is Wilton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Wilton is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work in a care home near Wilton with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
For owners and agents in Wilton
Being in the east of Scotland, Wilton gets less rain than the west coast. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Wilton. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Schools and community buildings such as Hawick High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Historic properties like Harden (3.1 miles west of Wilton) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
Wilton is about 1 mile west of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. Across the TD9 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our the Scottish Borders coverage takes in 91 places, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Edinburgh, roughly 39 miles from Wilton.
If you need mastic sealing in TD9, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Among the streets we cover are Teviot Road, High Street and Wilton Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Wilton sits on or close to the A7, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Nearby places we also cover include Hawick (1 mile east), Wilton Dean (1 mile west), Stirches (1 mile north), Burnfoot (1 mile north-east) and Newmill (4 miles south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Galashiels (13 miles north), Selkirk (9 miles north), Jedburgh (10 miles east), Melrose (12 miles north), Earlston (15 miles north) and Langlee (13 miles north). Wilton is one of the busier places in the Scottish Borders, and we take on mastic joints for its commercial and public buildings.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Wilton
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Wilton 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.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
