Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Construction mastic in Broomhouse
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: external door and window perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints in bathrooms and washrooms, kitchen worktops and splashbacks, and snagging before handover. One contractor for all of it keeps the responsibility in one place, and one applicator team gives a consistent finish. If you have missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, we can help, on cladding and panel joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Broomhouse first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Broomhouse, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Sites and facades in and around Broomhouse
Broomhouse has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Building work in Broomhouse comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification.
Work at a hotel such as Corstorphine Lodge Hotel (to the north of Broomhouse) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When a college such as Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus (to the south-west of Broomhouse) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. New wings at hospitals like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Broomhouse, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out and keeps handover on track.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broomhouse
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we’ll tell you. In Broomhouse, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
