Your questions answered
Is Macmerry too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Macmerry affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Does commercial sealant work come with a guarantee?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Should anything we did fail within that period, let us know.
Can you take on work for an FM or managing agent?
Yes. FMs, managing agents and landlords are among our regular clients, alongside main contractors. Tell us how you issue work and we will fit in.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Broken glass or blown double-glazed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- External facade joints
Sealant on show in Macmerry’s commercial buildings
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Macmerry. For shops, hotels and offices, that means frontage and frame joints that weather faster than they would inland. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. Macmerry is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold, frosty mornings and condensation on steel and glass can still delay outside work.
Offices at parks like Macmerry Business Park (to the north-east of Macmerry) have receptions, kitchens and glazed partitions where a tidy joint matters. Shops and cafés around stations like Longniddry station (2.5 miles north of Macmerry) trade from early, so work is timed around them. If you have premises on more than one site, say at Macmerry Business Park and Macmerry Industrial Estate, one contractor and one quote can cover both.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Macmerry with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Site photographs, drawings or a visit tell us what’s there and how it has failed.
- You get a fixed quote covering removal, preparation and the new sealant.
- Sequence, access and working times are settled before the first joint is touched.
- The failed sealant comes out and the faces are prepared, with primer where required.
- Depth is set with backing, then the sealant is applied, tooled and the area tidied.
- Completed areas are signed off with you under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Some low prices are low because nothing gets cut out. Sealing over looks tidy at handover, then lifts once the joint starts moving. Every quote we give includes full removal and preparation, which is where the lasting value is. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Facade and cladding joints
Facade joints move every day as panels warm and cool. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Macmerry can form part of a wider programme.
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.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
