What the job involves on each surface
Paintable sealants
Paintable sealants suit internal, low-movement joints best. If the joint needs a product that can’t be painted, we say so.
Shop-fit and joinery finishes
In shops, joints are at eye level and inspected by clients. Clean masking and neat tooling matter as much as colour.
Coloured sealant in Easter Pencaitland, done properly
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints on sites in Easter Pencaitland. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there. If you have smeared sealant on stone or joinery and standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Easter Pencaitland, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Easter Pencaitland, the commercial buildings tend to be hospitality, local shops, schools, health centres and converted rural buildings. Their kitchens, washrooms and window perimeters all need joints that keep water out.
Work we carry out in East Lothian comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Common questions from Easter Pencaitland clients
Is a smaller place like Easter Pencaitland outside your area?
Not at all. Easter Pencaitland is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Macmerry Industrial Estate, close to Easter Pencaitland?

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you work to a RAL reference?
Yes. Give us the RAL reference and we will check it against the product’s range. You will see the nearest options.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
Some change is normal outdoors. Sunlight, dirt and weathering affect how it looks, and resealing brings the look back.
Common problems we fix in Easter Pencaitland
Exposure takes its toll on colour. 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.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Hotel refurbishments with a set colour scheme
- Smeared sealant on stone or joinery
- Stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
Occupiers with premises at both Macmerry Industrial Estate and Macmerry Business Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Avoid piecemeal repairs on coloured joints
- Clean coloured joints with mild products
- Don’t let trades patch coloured joints with a random sealant
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
Expect some change in appearance over the years. That is normal for exposed sealant, and a reseal brings it back.
Use one product and colour reference across a building or brand. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent.
Working on commercial sites near Easter Pencaitland
The 3 miles around Easter Pencaitland take in two named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints, often in a colour the occupier specifies. Easter Pencaitland is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. We plan external frontages and frames around that
Industrial estates such as Macmerry Industrial Estate, 2.4 miles north of Easter Pencaitland, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s. Offices and shops close to stations such as Longniddry station (to the north of Easter Pencaitland) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses.
