What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:

- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

How we handle commercial sealant contractors in Easthouses
Most of the buildings we seal stay open while we are there. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. If you have sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy and weathered facade sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Easthouses, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Multi-site clients with buildings in and around Easthouses can put several sites on one programme, so standards and paperwork match across every site.
In smaller Scottish places like Easthouses, commercial buildings are often hotels, pubs, shops, schools, surgeries and farm or estate buildings put to new use. Each has kitchens, washrooms and frames that depend on sound joints.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why act early in Easthouses
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Easthouses. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Easthouses: questions and answers
Do hotels near Easthouses have to close for sealant work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Easthouses, such as McSence Business Park?
Yes, sites like McSence Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Easthouses. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you work in Easthouses?
Yes. Easthouses is in our area and the rest of Midlothian. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
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’ll plan the job around it.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. We remove the old seal, prepare the faces, fit backing where needed and seal again with a product chosen for both the frame and the wall.
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, and a hygienic or food-safe sealant is used where food contact is possible.
