Commercial sealant contractors for commercial buildings in Fernieside
On a commercial site, sealant turns up in more places than people expect: washroom fittings, kitchen worktops, window boards, partition heads and the line where floors meet walls. Externally it keeps rain out of frame perimeters, panel joints and movement joints. Our applicators work on both the inside and the outside of the building, matching the sealant to the location instead of using one product throughout. Site teams most often ask us about frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy, on kitchen worktops and splashbacks, external facade joints and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Fernieside, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Occupied buildings in Fernieside need the work phased: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Fernieside is part of one of Scotland’s big cities, where offices, shops, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Where a shop sits below tenement flats, work on the frontage or shared parts may involve the property factor.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a few hours for one area, or a planned series of visits across a bigger building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For premises in Fernieside, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We begin with whatever information you have, whether that’s photos, a drawing or a list of locations, or we arrange a site visit.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- We plan around your site hours and access windows, phasing the work where areas have to stay in use.
- We strip the failed bead and prepare both faces of the joint.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Leave it or put it right?
On many buildings the mastic was done by whichever trade was on site. Choosing the product, setting the depth and preparing the faces are what a specialist brings, and they’re where most failures begin. It shows over the following seasons rather than at handover. Failed sealant in a shared building in Fernieside can affect more than one owner, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Retail work typically has to fit around trading. We plan around the access windows the store gives us, working in sections where that helps.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Brickwork, blockwork and floor slabs all have movement joints that need a flexible seal. Failed seals let grit and water in, and the edges start to suffer. The joints are resealed using a sealant matched to the movement and any traffic.
Sealant on show in Fernieside’s commercial buildings
Fernieside sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Fernieside has at least three named business or industrial parks inside a 3-mile radius. Each new occupier on a park like these tends to refit, from reception to staff kitchen, often in a colour the occupier specifies.
Retail sites such as Craigmillar Shopping Centre (to the north of Fernieside) are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant. Premises within reach of Shawfair station (1.6 miles east of Fernieside) often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. Occupiers with premises at both Craigmillar Shopping Centre and Peffermill Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

Common questions from Fernieside clients
Does a hotel in Fernieside need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is Craigmillar Shopping Centre, near Fernieside, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Fernieside, Craigmillar Shopping Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. You can send details through our quote form, and tell us what site paperwork you need.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Fernieside. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
What affects the price in Fernieside

- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
