Sealant on show in Magdalene’s commercial buildings
Magdalene sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Six care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Magdalene. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean.
A unit on an estate like A1 Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north-east of Magdalene, usually has an office front, a trade counter and staff facilities with joints of their own. Occupiers with premises at both A1 Industrial Estate and Eastern Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. A hotel such as Kings Manor Hotel (0.7 miles east of Magdalene) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

How we handle coloured sealant in Magdalene
We take on colour-matched work across new fit-outs, refurbishments and resealing of existing joints. When replacing old joints, the new colour normally has to match what’s already there, particularly where the building’s look matters. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals that don’t match the original and stained or mouldy coloured joints in washrooms, across powder-coated and anodised frames, cladding panels and natural stone and brick. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Magdalene, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
City-centre premises in Scotland often come with tight access, shared closes and loading restrictions. Give us your access times and any building rules and we’ll fit the work around them, phased so offices and shops keep trading.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we are asked in Magdalene
Do hotels near Magdalene have to close for sealant work?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Our building in Magdalene is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is Magdalene in your area?
Yes. We cover Magdalene and the rest of Edinburgh. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you seal to a brand colour across several sites?
Yes. We work with shop fitters, hotel groups and office fit-out contractors. Sites anywhere in our area, from London and the South East to Scotland, can be included, so one colour reference can carry across every site.

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 work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We confirm the product the joint needs before talking about colour.
- Colour references, samples or photographs of the finish are checked against the product’s range.
- Where colour is critical, a sample bead can be agreed in a discreet spot.
- We take out the existing bead, clean the joints and fit backing.
- The coloured sealant is applied and tooled with clean, masked edges.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
A brand roll-out or multi-site fit-out benefits from a consistent sealant colour. Fixing the colour reference at the start keeps every site the same. Getting access arranged for a building in Magdalene takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in Magdalene choose us

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Paint over sealant on joints that move too much
- Finishes that change colour from one area to another
- A colour that never alters with age
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How the job changes by surface
Powder-coated and anodised frames
Anodised and metallic frames rarely have an identical sealant colour. We’ll suggest the nearest standard colours for approval.
Paintable sealants
Where no colour in the range is close, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant can sometimes be painted to match. It depends on movement and the specification.
