When to call us in Slateford
Sometimes the wrong colour went in at the start. It seals fine but catches the eye.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Previous reseals that don’t match the original
- Standard-colour sealant spoiling a high-end finish
- Discoloured joints on a visible elevation
- Shop fits that need consistent sealant colours across sites
If you run a unit on an estate such as West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate (under half a mile north-west of Slateford), the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.

Coloured sealant in Slateford, done properly
Stone, brick and cladding each bring their own colour challenge: sandstone, granite, brick and stained timber rarely have one flat colour. The aim is a sealant colour that sits comfortably against the whole surface, with a sample on site if colour is critical. We work on cladding panels, office fit-out finishes and shop-fit joinery and counters, and what we are called in for most is coloured joints that have cracked with movement and a bead that fights the cladding or frame colour. Most enquiries from Slateford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Slateford is part of one of Scotland’s big cities, where offices, shops, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Where a shop sits below tenement flats, work on the frontage or shared parts may involve the property factor.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Preventing all fading from sunlight and weathering
- Colour variation across natural stone or brick that no single shade can match
- Restoring stained stone or masonry next to old sealant
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Shop-fit joinery and counters

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Questions we are asked in Slateford
Do you cover business parks and estates near Slateford, such as West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate?
Yes, sites like West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Slateford. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Slateford?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. Send colour references or photos and we will confirm what’s available for the product.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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 will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Slateford, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First we agree which sealant type the joint needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- The existing bead comes out, then faces are cleaned and backed.
- Edges are masked and the coloured sealant applied and tooled.
- We remove the masking and walk the finished joints with you.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Advice
What else we do in Slateford
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Slateford
Slateford has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints; brand colours often come into it. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Slateford. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme, with rooms done in turn while the rest stay let.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Slateford station, less than half a mile to the south-west of Slateford, tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours. For a hotel such as Tynecastle Park Hotel, 0.9 miles to the north-east of Slateford, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room.
