Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a building near Torphin, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We confirm the joint type and the product it needs.
- We compare the target colour with the colours available.
- The nearest colour is agreed, with a sample bead where needed.
- We cut out the existing bead, clean and set the depth.
- We mask, seal and tool to a clean line.
- Masking comes off and the work is checked with you.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Ask contractors to check the colour before resealing
- Note which sealant colour was used where
- Keep harsh solvents away from visible joints
- Brief cleaners about newly sealed joints
Let the joints cure as the manufacturer advises before they’re cleaned. Fresh coloured beads show fingerprints and dust more easily.
Standardise the sealant colour on multi-site work. It keeps repairs and new sites consistent and easier to manage.
Questions we’re asked in Torphin
Is Torphin too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, near Torphin?
Yes, sites like Westside Plaza Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Torphin. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does a coloured sealant perform differently from a standard one?
Performance comes from the sealant type and the installation. We choose the right product for the joint first and then pick from its colour range, installed in exactly the same way.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Does coloured sealant change colour outdoors?
It can, to a degree. How much depends on the product, the colour and the exposure.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Coloured sealant around Torphin: points for this area
Torphin is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Winter frost and damp frames still stop outside sealing on some days. In winter, outside joints are timed for when surfaces are dry and within the product’s range Torphin has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In care settings, a neat joint at a kitchen worktop or a lounge window is part of keeping the place easy to clean.
Premises within reach of Wester Hailes station, 1.2 miles to the north of Torphin, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Occupiers with premises at both Westside Plaza Shopping Centre and Dumbryden Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote. If you look after units at a retail site such as Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, 1.2 miles north of Torphin, shopfront perimeters and shop-fit joints are where a matched colour shows.

Surface by surface
Office fit-outs
In offices, sealant appears at partitions, tea points, washrooms and reception desks. A consistent colour across floors looks deliberate for the tenant.
Natural stone
Natural stone rarely has one colour, and the sealant has to work with that. A stone-compatible, neutral-cure sealant avoids staining in the closest available colour.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Torphin can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Edinburgh.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How accessible the joints are
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.

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
