Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from part of a day on a short run of joints to several weeks on a large phased package, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Quoting for work in Craigcrook
Before we quote, we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Check joints after other trades have worked nearby
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
- Note dates and locations of sealant work for future planning
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. That time depends on the product, the temperature and the joint depth. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly, and it reflects on how the building is run. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a failed joint rarely saves money. Water past a frame perimeter or a washroom joint can reach plasterboard, insulation, floor coverings and the ceiling below, and the bill then involves other trades. Resealing while only the sealant has failed keeps the job small. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Pricing sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Questions we are asked in Craigcrook
Does the sea air around Craigcrook change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Does a hotel in Craigcrook need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long will the new sealant 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.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes as long as the agreed scope needs, from a single visit to a programme spread over several weeks. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Frontages, fit-outs and joints in Craigcrook
Craigcrook lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Exposed frontages near the sea are hard on sealant, so the product has to suit the weather as well as the look. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. Six care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Craigcrook. Kitchens and communal rooms in care settings are cleaned constantly, so their joints need to be smooth and sound; colours can be chosen to suit the interior.
Units at retail parks like Craigleith Retail Park, 1 mile to the east of Craigcrook, change hands and get refitted, with new joints at every frontage. A business with units at Craigleith Retail Park and Drylaw Shopping Centre needn’t use two contractors for its sealant. Offices and shops close to stations such as South Gyle station (2 miles south-west of Craigcrook) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Around Craigcrook
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Gabrielle Keiller Library, St George's School and Saughton Park, among other places. The nearest railway station is South Gyle station, about 2 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Craigcrook Castle (less than half a mile south) and Corstorphine Hospital (1.1 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Corstorphine Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
