Braepark construction mastic
Commercial sealant work in Braepark for contractors, FMs and building owners: mastic packages for new-build and refurbishment projects, quoted at a fixed price.
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
Construction mastic in Braepark
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Use the product the specification names
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
About our construction mastic in Braepark
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover, so it lands at exactly the point the programme is tightest. We work as a mastic subcontractor to main contractors and developers, following the trades through the building as rooms and elevations become ready. If you have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Braepark start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Braepark, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
Work we carry out in Edinburgh comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Surface by surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulking is often done in a hurry by whoever’s on site. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line and keeps the snag list down.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Questions we are asked in Braepark
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do tenement owners in Braepark get shared-part mastic done?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you fit around our programme?
The programme sets the job. Tell us the sequence and we will plan applicators around it so sealing follows the trades.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Braepark
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
Common problems we fix in Braepark
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
On a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus (2.9 miles south of Braepark), new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Construction mastic around Braepark: points for this area
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Braepark. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Projects in Braepark follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield, which lies south-east of Braepark, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors refurbishing units at places like West Craigs Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the south of Braepark, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
