About our coloured sealant in Burdiehouse
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites in Burdiehouse. On resealing, matching the existing colour is often as important as the seal itself, especially on a listed or high-profile elevation. If you are dealing with marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and discoloured joints on a visible elevation, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Burdiehouse 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.
Working in a Scottish city means planning around loading rules, shared entrances and busy pavements. Tell us when the building is open and how we get in, and the plan will follow, phased so offices and shops keep trading.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When to call us in Burdiehouse
Older sealant changes colour over time. Sunlight, dirt and pollution can darken, yellow or chalk the surface, so joints that once matched no longer do. A reseal brings the colour back in line.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
- Coloured joints that have cracked with movement
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
If you have premises on more than one site, say at Eldin Industrial Estate and Edgefield Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Burdiehouse can form part of a wider programme across Edinburgh.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Look at the cured colour before the full run
- Keep the same sealant colour across a brand
- Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. It makes matching later repairs much easier, avoiding a patchwork.
Put the sealant colour into the specification or finishes schedule. Late decisions lead to substitutes and mismatches; fixing it early prevents rework.

Cost factors for colour-matched joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Burdiehouse
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Burdiehouse. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter, and the work can be phased so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Less than 3 miles from Burdiehouse there are at least three named estates and business parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints.
Shops and cafés around stations like Shawfair station, 3 miles to the north-east of Burdiehouse, trade from early, so work is timed around them. On estates like Eldin Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Burdiehouse, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

Questions we are asked in Burdiehouse
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Burdiehouse?
Yes, sealants come in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references, cladding, stone or frames is a common request. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Must a hotel around Burdiehouse close while you work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Does the weather affect the 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. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking about the same time as any other sealant work, plus a little longer if a sample bead is agreed first. For premises in Burdiehouse, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
- We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
- The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
- Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
- The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What the job involves on each surface
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-safe neutral-cure product is used in a colour chosen from its range.
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Window, door and shopfront frames in RAL colours often need a sealant to suit. The frame colour is checked against what the product is made in, and the nearest option is agreed.
