Mayfield: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Mayfield outside your area?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Can you supply sealant in our brand colour for a site in Mayfield?

Yes, we can typically get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.

When can the area be used after sealing?

The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

How much does the work cost?

It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.

Can you quote from photographs?

It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

How long do sealant joints last?

There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?

Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.

How we handle coloured sealant in Mayfield

Shop fits, hotels and offices are where colour-matched sealant earns its place. A mismatched bead can make good joinery look unfinished, even when the seal is sound. The aim is a colour from the product’s range that disappears into the surface. Most enquiries involve marked sealant in hotel bathrooms and old sealant that has yellowed, darkened or faded, on natural stone and brick, powder-coated and anodised frames and cladding panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Mayfield from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Travel to smaller places such as Mayfield is planned so the whole job is finished in one visit where possible: send photos and a complete list so the right products and colours come on the day. If neighbouring businesses have work too, the visits can be grouped.

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.

What affects the price in Mayfield

These are the things that shape the price:

  • The site’s rules and procedures
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Working within restricted access windows
  • Backing rod, priming and other preparation

The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Before you send an enquiry

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The postcode of the building
  • Access details, including height

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

For managing agents and facilities managers

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

How a job runs

We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Mayfield, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.

  1. Photos or drawings show us the finishes and joints.
  2. We send the closest colours from the product’s range.
  3. The programme and access are agreed, including any phasing.
  4. Joints are prepared, primed where specified and backed.
  5. The agreed colour is installed and tooled neatly.

Before we start on site

  • Agree which areas must stay open
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand

Sealant on show in Mayfield’s commercial buildings

The east of Scotland, where Mayfield is, gets less rain than the west. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. The 2 miles around Mayfield include two care or nursing homes. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean, often in colours that suit the décor.

Offices and shops close to stations such as Newtongrange station, 1.3 miles west of Mayfield, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. If you have premises on more than one site, say at McSence Business Park and Mayfield Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both. For tenants and agents on sites such as McSence Business Park, which lies west of Mayfield, office fit-outs, reception joints and window perimeters are the usual sealant work.

Mayfield is about 2 miles south-east of Dalkeith, in Midlothian. Our applicators travel to Mayfield for work on colour-matched joints. Mayfield is one of 34 places in Midlothian on our list for colour-matched joints. For work in that direction, see our Edinburgh page (8 miles or so).

Anyone looking for coloured sealant in EH22 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Buildings on Chester Square, Pinewood View and Pinewood Road are within our area. Nearby places we also cover include D'Arcy (1 mile east), Easthouses (1 mile north-west), Newtongrange (1 mile west), Gowkshill (1 mile south-west) and Edgehead (1 mile east). Bigger towns within reach include Bonnyrigg (3 miles west), Penicuik (8 miles west), Loanhead (5 miles west), Shawfair (4 miles north-west), Danderhall (4 miles north-west) and Rosewell (4 miles west). Mayfield is one of the busier places in Midlothian, and its commercial and public buildings are all within our area.

What the job involves on each surface

Hotel interiors

Hotels use colour-matched sealant in bathrooms, bedrooms and public areas. Sanitary silicone comes in colours too, so bathrooms can match the tiling or stone.

Brick and masonry

Movement joints in brickwork are long and visible. A well-chosen colour helps them blend in while the product still suits the movement.

Why deal with it now?

Resealing a full run gives a consistent colour. Piecemeal repairs over several years tend to drift in colour, and the patchwork effect grows. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Mayfield before they leak.

A quote for colour-matched joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Maintenance after handover

To get the most from the new sealant:

  • Keep the area clear while the sealant cures
  • Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
  • Standardise colours across a portfolio
  • Record the product and colour reference on the building file

Check visible joints during routine inspections. Look for splits, lifting edges and staining and deal with problems early.

Settle the colour early in the project. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong, so agree it with the designer at the start.
