Building owners, agents and FMs in Comely Bank
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Comely Bank can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Edinburgh.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Coloured sealant in Comely Bank, done properly
Where colour is critical, a sample bead in a discreet spot settles the question. Cured sealant may look a shade different from the wet bead, and lighting changes it again. Let us know who signs off colour, and we will fit the sample into the programme. We work on office fit-out finishes, natural stone and brick and hotel bathrooms and public areas, and what we are called in for most is standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish and discoloured joints on a visible elevation. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Comely Bank is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In Scotland’s cities, commercial premises are packed closely, from stone-fronted offices to shops on the ground floor of tenement blocks. Where a shop sits below tenement flats, work on the frontage or shared parts may involve the property factor.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Do you need coloured sealant in Comely Bank?
Patch repairs in a different colour are a common problem. Mixed repairs over time leave a run of mismatched joints across one elevation. Resealing a whole run in one agreed colour tidies it up.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded
- Colour changes after a rebrand or refit
Occupiers with premises at both Craigleith Retail Park and Beaverbank Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Proof of insurance
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the finishes.
- 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.
- We seal in the approved colour and tool it smooth.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Comely Bank, such as Craigleith Retail Park?
Yes. We cover Comely Bank and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Craigleith Retail Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Our building in Comely Bank is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Can wet areas have colour-matched sealant?
Yes. Sanitary silicones with anti-mould additives come in a range of colours too. We will confirm what’s available for the specified product and agree it with you.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day for a modest shop fit, and longer for a full building or several floors. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- Paintable products in joints they aren’t suited to
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What Comely Bank’s businesses ask us to seal
Comely Bank lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. The east of Scotland, where Comely Bank is, gets less rain than the west. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Refits at hotels like The Bonham Hotel (0.5 miles south of Comely Bank) bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day. For premises near Haymarket station, which lies south of Comely Bank, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading.
Comely Bank is about 1 mile north-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We send applicators to Comely Bank for colour-matched joints. Comely Bank is one of 174 places we cover in Edinburgh for colour-matched joints.
We cover the EH4, EH3 and EH2 postcode districts. If your site is on Circus Lane, Belford Road and Orchard Road or close by, we can quote for colour-matched joints. If your building is just outside Comely Bank, we cover Stockbridge (1 mile east), Craigleith (1 mile north-west), Dean Village (1 mile south), Silvermills (1 mile east) and Inverleith (1 mile north). Nearby towns on our patch include Queensferry (7 miles west), South Portobello (4 miles east), Southhouse (5 miles south-east), Mayfield (3 miles south-east), Gilmerton (5 miles south-east) and Gracemount (4 miles south-east).
What’s near Comely Bank
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Stewart's Melville College, Tollcross Primary School and Stockbridge public library. You will also find Princes Street Gardens (0.8 miles south-east), Hamilton's Bar & Kitchen (under half a mile east) and St Cuthbert's Church (0.8 miles south-east). For rail, the closest station is Haymarket station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Museum of the Grand Lodge of Scotland (0.8 miles south-east) and Waverley Mall (1.1 miles east). The countryside around Comely Bank includes Salisbury Crags and Dunsapie Loch.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check a trial length in real light
- Agree the sealant colour early and write it into the specification
- Note which sealant colour was used where
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Coloured sealant marks more visibly than white while it is fresh.
Share the colour reference with anyone working on the finishes. It stops mismatched repairs creeping in.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
