Sealant applicators in Curriehill
Most commercial buildings carry hundreds of metres of sealant that nobody thinks about until it fails, and in an occupied building failure typically announces itself as a stained ceiling or an unhappy tenant. We are commercial sealant applicators for FMs, managing agents, landlords and contractors. We find out why the sealant joints failed, take them out and seal again using a sealant that suits the joint. Most enquiries involve mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops and greasy, split joints in a kitchen or tea point, on floor and threshold joints, movement joints in walls and floors and kitchen worktops and splashbacks. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Curriehill from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
The most common commercial job in Curriehill is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: hardened, cracked or shrunk away from the faces, and letting water or dirt in.
For a job around Curriehill, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: sealant needs a dry joint and the right temperature, so external work has a weather window built in. Internal joints can be done whatever the day brings.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What affects the price in Curriehill
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Curriehill can form part of a wider programme across Edinburgh.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Commercial premises in Curriehill
The east of Scotland, where Curriehill is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still hold up external sealing. Outside work is booked with that in mind At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Curriehill. Sites like these see regular refits, with shopfronts, offices and staff areas to seal, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Offices and shops close to stations such as Curriehill station (less than half a mile north of Curriehill) 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 Pentland Gait Office Park and Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, one contractor and one quote can cover both.
Curriehill is about 5 miles south-west of West End, in Edinburgh. Across the EH14 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Curriehill is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.
We take on sealant joints across the EH14 postcode area, whatever the building. For a building on Bryce Road, Palmer Road and Dolphin Road or nearby, send details and we’ll quote for sealant joints.

Do you need commercial sealant contractors in Curriehill?
If sealant tears through its centre, it has failed cohesively. That usually means the joint stretched further than the product could cope with: a bead laid too thin, an over-stretched joint or the wrong movement class. Replacing it like for like rarely holds, so width, depth and product are checked before we quote.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations
- Movement joints packed with grit and debris
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
On a business park such as Pentland Gait Office Park, which lies north-east of Curriehill, sealant work tends to follow fit-outs: receptions, tea points, washrooms and frame perimeters.
Questions to ask before you book

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Curriehill, such as Pentland Gait Office Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Curriehill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Pentland Gait Office Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Curriehill outside your area?
Not at all. Curriehill is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes. Send a list of addresses and what’s needed at each, and fixed prices follow, with a suggested sequence.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It can, on some older buildings. That’s why we ask for the asbestos information first, and stop if a material is suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
Can areas stay open during the work?
That comes down to planning: we agree access windows, phase the work and keep enough facilities open. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan the job around it.
