Why act early in Bonnyrigg
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. A leaking joint can damage finishes, stock and fittings inside. Putting it right early limits the damage.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Bonnyrigg
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. The enquiries we see most involve failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions. Whoever orders the work in Bonnyrigg, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In Bonnyrigg, construction comes under Scotland’s building standards and the local authority’s warrant process. Our part is sealing to the specification, on programme, with snags cleared before completion.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer

On site: what to expect
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. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Industrial estates and retail parks around towns like Bonnyrigg normally have yard space and site rules. Central premises can need a little more planning for parking.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list right away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit, priced as part of the package or separately.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short, and avoids a rush.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

Questions we’re asked in Bonnyrigg
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Midlothian Community Hospital?

Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Edinburgh Bioquarter?

Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
