Commercial sealant contractors in Ingliston
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Walls or slabs moving more than any sealant can take
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Window and door perimeters

When to call us in Ingliston
A good share of the joints we inspect were topped up instead of being renewed. Fresh sealant won’t stick to the old bead underneath. Getting back to a clean joint then means removing every layer.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sanitary sealant that has gone black and patchy
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Messy, uneven beads from earlier work that let the building down
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
Premises within reach of Edinburgh Gateway station, 1.8 miles east of Ingliston, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Common questions from Ingliston clients
Is Lochend Industrial Estate, near Ingliston, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Ingliston, Lochend Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does a hotel in Ingliston need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should a joint we sealed give trouble during those 12 months, let us know and we will look at it.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and anything suspect is left until it has been tested.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Ingliston, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- A fixed quote follows, with removal and preparation included.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- Each joint is stripped, cleaned back to sound faces and primed where the maker specifies.
- Backing goes in, the new sealant is laid and tooled, and the area is left neat.
- We hand back each area with its cure time and our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
