Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Commercial mastic work in Granton
Sometimes a split bead is a symptom rather than the cause. Water at a window perimeter might be coming from the frame, the cill or the wall behind. Part of the job is telling you when the fix is something other than sealant, so budgets go where they’ll do some good. Site teams most often ask us about frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and damp patches where an external joint has failed, across kitchen worktops and splashbacks, movement joints in walls and floors and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Granton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Occupied buildings in Granton need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
The perimeter joint between a frame and the structure keeps rain out of the reveal. Failed perimeters are cut out and cleaned, backing goes into deeper gaps, and the joint is resealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another suitable product.
Shop fronts and retail fit-outs
Most shops can’t close for a reseal. Tell us your trading hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them, phasing areas so the shop floor stays usable.
Common questions from Granton clients
Our building in Granton is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Will our hotel in Granton need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can areas stay open during the work?
It’s mostly about sequence: 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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What site paperwork can you provide?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Why deal with it now?
Some managers wait for a fit-out before touching the mastic. That’s reasonable for internal joints that are just tired-looking, 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. Getting access arranged for a building in Granton takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

What Granton’s businesses ask us to seal
Granton lies within about 1 mile 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. A matched colour is only half the brief on an exposed frontage. The area within 2 miles of Granton holds a good number of hotels. Refits in hotels bring joints at vanity tops, bar counters and reception desks where the colour has to suit the scheme; work is planned so the hotel keeps trading.
For a hotel such as Granton Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Granton, the colour of a joint at the bar or the bath matters to the look of the room. If you run an office at a site such as Broompark Business Park, which lies north of Granton, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. Occupiers with premises at both Broompark Business Park and Granton Retail Park could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.
Granton is about 2 miles north of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Granton sits inside our coverage and the rest of Edinburgh, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Edinburgh, 174 places are covered, Granton among them.
Anyone looking for commercial sealant contractors in EH5, EH4 and EH3 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Ferry Road, Granton Road and Pilton Avenue. You’ll find Granton on or near the A903. Close to Granton, our area also takes in Boswall (1 mile east), Pilton (1 mile south-west), Crewe Toll (1 mile south-west), Edinburgh Waterfront (1 mile north-west) and East Pilton (1 mile south).

Local landmarks in Granton
We work on buildings around Stockbridge public library, Old Chain Pier pub and Trinity Academy. For rail, the closest station is Haymarket station, roughly 2.2 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Newhaven Heritage Museum (1.3 miles east) and Ocean Terminal (2 miles east). Not far away are Dunsapie Loch and Corstorphine Hill.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Log reseals in the O&M or maintenance records
- Respect the cure time before reopening an area
- Keep washroom and kitchen extraction working
Later works are the usual way new joints get damaged. When fittings are moved or cabling added, the sealant nearby is easily disturbed, and it’s easy to forget to reseal afterwards. Where work has disturbed a joint, just call 01277 525 020 or email us for a quote.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. A few splits this year typically mean more next year, so it makes sense to look at the wider elevation or block. We can assess the lot and suggest what to do now and later.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
