Commercial mastic work in Redford
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before old sealant is disturbed, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Anything suspect is left alone until it has been tested (removing asbestos-containing materials isn’t something we do). If you are dealing with frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and mouldy silicone around WCs, urinals and vanity tops, we can put it right, on external facade joints, movement joints in walls and floors and floor and threshold joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Redford is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In an occupied building in Redford, the job is planned so areas stay in use: we agree the order with you and hand back each area with its cure time.
Redford is part of one of Scotland’s big cities, where offices, shops, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Shop units under tenements can bring the property factor into the picture when the work touches shared parts.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- External facade joints
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Floor and threshold joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Window and door perimeters
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Redford can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Edinburgh.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
What Redford’s businesses ask us to seal
Redford has six care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care homes need tidy, cleanable joints in kitchens, corridors and communal rooms; colours can be chosen to suit the interior. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Redford. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter.
For premises near Kingsknowe station, which lies north-west of Redford, footfall is part of the plan: work is phased so shops and offices keep trading. On estates like Dumbryden Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles north-west of Redford, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain.

What else we do in Redford
Common problems we fix in Redford
Outside, sunlight and rain wear sealant down year after year. Sunny elevations dry the surface out and exposed ones take driving rain; in time the surface chalks, hardens and cracks. A hardened bead can’t follow the building any more.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
- Untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby
- Window and door perimeter joints that have cracked open
- Black mould through washroom sealant that won’t clean off
In hotels such as Braid Hills Hotel, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Redford, refurbishments usually mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Redford need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you offer colour-matched sealant for buildings in Redford?
Yes, we can usually get close to most finishes from the product’s colour range. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is the old sealant taken out first?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. New sealant can’t grip the old bead, so laying over it never lasts; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What do you need from us to quote?
The main factors are metres of joint, removal, access, the product and how many phases there are. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For premises in Redford, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- You send photos, drawings or a list of the joints and areas involved, and a site visit is booked where it helps.
- 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.
- Failed sealant is cut out and each joint cleaned back to sound, dry faces.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
