About commercial sealant contractors in Edinburgh

Inside a commercial building, sealant does a lot of quiet work: around sanitaryware, along worktops and splashbacks, at window boards, partition heads and floor junctions. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. We deal with internal and external sealant joints alike. We work on washrooms and tea points, window and door perimeters and kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and leaks that seem to come through a sealant line.

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, and each area is checked before we leave it.

We start with the evidence: photographs, drawings or a look on site.
A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
We agree the order of work, access windows and site hours with you.
Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.

Pricing in Edinburgh

The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Commercial premises across Edinburgh

From Leith, Bonnington and Greenside outwards, Edinburgh has a broad spread of commercial premises: shops, offices, hotels, restaurants and units. We cover the whole area, so occupiers with several sites can use one contractor and one point of contact, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.

Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, Edinburgh among them. Longer journeys are planned so each job is done in one go if at all possible. In the parts of Edinburgh near the sea, the elevations facing the weather are where sealant gives up first, so they’re worth inspecting more often.

Edinburgh: For a hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Edinburgh City Centre, which lies north-east of Edinburgh, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. Units at places like Waverley Mall (0.8 miles north-east of Edinburgh) are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme.

Different surfaces, different methods

Shop fronts and retail fit-outs

In retail, sealant is on show. Counters, display units, shopfront frames and floor trims all need a neat line. Colour options are confirmed with the quote.

Movement joints in walls and floors

A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. We will recommend the right filler or sealant for the traffic and movement.

Honest limits

Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:

Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
Broken glass or blown double-glazed units

Leave it or put it right?

Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Our prices always include removal of the failed bead and full joint preparation, because that’s what makes the new bead last.

Questions to ask before you book

Commercial clients in Edinburgh

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.

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.

Keeping the joints sound

To get the most from the new sealant:

Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
Make sure contractors see the asbestos survey before cutting out old mastic
Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up

Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed and the joint gets left open. Where work has disturbed a joint, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form for a quote.

In kitchens and washrooms, a failed joint is a cleaning problem as well as a leak risk. Environmental health officers look at how cleanable surfaces are, so sound, smooth joints matter.

Common questions from Edinburgh clients

Is the old sealant taken out first?

Removal of the failed sealant is always part of the job. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip.

How many days will you need on site?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.

Do you work in Edinburgh?

Yes. We take on work across Edinburgh.

Does weather matter for sealant work?

It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Do you take on multi-site sealant work?

Yes. Give us the sites and the scope at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
