Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Not every penetration suits a sealant. Other products are used for some services and gaps so we will flag where the detail needs something different. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
About our construction mastic in Granton
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: 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. We work on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and cladding and panel joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and sealant knocked or painted over by other trades. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Granton it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Granton, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

New build and refits around Granton
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Granton. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. The area within 2 miles of Granton holds a good number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
When units on a site such as Broompark Business Park (to the north of Granton) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Further education sites such as Edinburgh College - Granton Campus (0.7 miles west of Granton) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

What we are called out for in Granton
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, so they end up back on the snag list.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
University estates such as University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus, 2.4 miles south-east of Granton, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Joint width, depth and condition

However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Getting access arranged for a building in Granton takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Questions about Granton
How do tenement owners in Granton get shared-part mastic done?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. We can quote to the factor or to the owners, for a single close or a whole block.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. Public liability insurance is in place.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
