Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Gladsmuir. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, details come to us: photos, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- The failure is diagnosed and a fixed quote issued for the work agreed.
- Before anything is cut out, we agree access, timings and sequence.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- The depth is set, primer is used where the maker calls for it, and the fresh bead is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are checked with you and handed over with our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Get a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Common questions from Gladsmuir clients
Is Gladsmuir too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can being near the sea in Gladsmuir affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How do you keep disruption to occupiers down?
Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What about asbestos in old mastic?
Some older mastics did contain asbestos. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested. HSE guidance on asbestos is a useful reference.
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are usually enough to start through our quote form. If a visit is needed we will book one, and a fixed quote follows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gladsmuir
It can be tempting to hold sealant work back until the next refurbishment. For internal joints that are only cosmetic, that can make sense, but a joint letting water in now keeps doing damage until the refurb arrives. Splitting the scope into now and later is often the sensible compromise. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Gladsmuir, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Surface by surface
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 new sealant is chosen for the movement and, on floors, the traffic.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
In kitchens, sealant lines at worktops, sinks and wall panels take heat, grease and daily cleaning. Proper degreasing comes before any new sealant, with a food-safe or hygienic product wherever food contact can happen.
Commercial premises in Gladsmuir
Gladsmuir is within about 3 miles of the coast. Buildings near the sea put their external joints through more driven rain, with salt air nearer the beach. We choose a product rated for the exposure, then confirm the colours available for it. Gladsmuir is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold snaps still affect when external joints can be sealed. Outside work is booked with that in mind
Shops and cafés around stations like Longniddry station, 2.1 miles north-west of Gladsmuir, trade from early, so work is timed around them.

Industrial estates such as Macmerry Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles west of Gladsmuir, have offices, trade counters and welfare areas whose sealant ages like any other building’s.
