What Boswall’s businesses ask us to seal
Boswall sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Boswall. Hotel refurbishments are where a matched sealant colour earns its place: bathroom, bar and reception joints have to sit with the finishes; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
Refits at hotels like Granton Hotel (to the north of Boswall) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. Shops and cafés around stations like Edinburgh Waverley station (to the south-east of Boswall) trade from early, so work is timed around them.
Boswall is about 1 mile north-west of Bellevue, in Edinburgh. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Boswall use us for work on colour-matched joints. Across Edinburgh, 174 places are covered, Boswall among them.

About our coloured sealant in Boswall
Matching to anodised or powder-coated frames is a common request. We compare the RAL reference with the colours made for the specified sealant, and the nearest option is agreed with you. If the range has no close colour, a paintable sealant can sometimes be overpainted, where the specification allows. If you have colour changes after a rebrand or refit and a run of joints in mismatched shades, we can help, on natural stone and brick, hotel bathrooms and public areas and office fit-out finishes alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Boswall? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Natural stone gives a lot of Scottish city premises their character: sandstone in most, granite in Aberdeen. Stone needs a neutral-cure sealant suited to it and a colour that sits quietly against the masonry.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Questions about Boswall
Does your area include sites such as Broompark Business Park, near Boswall?
Yes. Our area takes in Boswall and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Broompark Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does the sea air around Boswall change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Many specifications give the sealant colour as a RAL number. We check what that product is made in and agree the choice with you.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you guarantee a perfect colour match?
No. An exact bespoke match isn’t something we can promise. Sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Record the product and colour reference on the building file
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Use one colour standard across multi-site work
- Plan full-run reseals on visible elevations
Check visible joints during routine inspections. Watch for cracks, peeling or discolouration, and plan resealing before it looks tired.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
Commercial clients in Boswall
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Surface by surface
Brick and masonry
Vertical movement joints run the full height of many brick walls. The right colour keeps them discreet without affecting the joint’s performance.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
Retail fit-outs mix many finishes in a small space. We choose sealant colours that suit each junction from the product’s range.
When to call us in Boswall
Colour-matched sealant is usually requested because a standard bead has spoiled the finish: a pale bead on a dark frame, or an old seal that has discoloured. Replacing it with a suitable colour restores the intended look.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Patch repairs in several different colours
- Dirty, discoloured joints in public areas
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Failed coloured sealant that has split or peeled
Occupiers with premises at both Broompark Business Park and Granton Retail Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
