Sealant specialists in Craigour
We have applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years: we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. Most enquiries involve leaks that seem to come through a sealant line and frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, floor and threshold joints and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Craigour, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
If you look after more than one building near Craigour, the work can be planned as one programme, with one quote format and one point of contact.
Much of the older commercial stock in Scotland’s cities is sandstone or, in Aberdeen, granite. Stone needs a neutral-cure sealant suited to it and a colour that sits quietly against the masonry.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Craigour can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Edinburgh.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Ask cleaners to use a soft cloth and mild cleaner on sealant
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
We stand behind the workmanship with a 12-month guarantee. Keep the handover details with your O&M or maintenance records.
Each spell of wet weather pushes more water through an open joint. Behind a panel or frame, that water can sit unseen for a long time. Resealing early keeps the problem in the sealant and out of the building.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints along worktops, sinks, splashbacks and wall cladding collect grease and moisture. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Photos from a closer viewpoint help us price.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching the worst lengths can be the right call on a tight budget. If the rest of the bead is the same age and product, though, it’s usually close behind, and a second visit means paying for access and set-up again. We can price both options so you can decide on the facts. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Pricing sealant joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Sealant on show in Craigour’s commercial buildings
Craigour lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Sea-facing elevations are normally where failed joints show first. There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Craigour. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean; colours can be chosen to suit the interior.
Shops and cafés around stations like Shawfair station, 1.8 miles east of Craigour, trade from early, so work is timed around them. A hotel such as Northumberland Hotel, 1.5 miles north-west of Craigour, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar. Retail sites such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre, 1.3 miles north of Craigour, are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant.

What affects the price in Craigour
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- 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.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
