Hermiston: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hermiston, such as Hermiston Gait Retail Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hermiston, Hermiston Gait Retail Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We’re fully insured for public liability.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How we handle construction mastic in Hermiston
The specification and the programme set the job, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. The enquiries we see most involve mastic snags holding up handover and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, on window and door perimeters, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions. Searching for sealant specialists in Hermiston? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sites near smaller places like Hermiston can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photographs let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. For buildings near Hermiston, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
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.
When to call us in Hermiston
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with and gaps beyond it need packing or adjusting by the frame installer. We flag them early rather than filling them with sealant that won’t last.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
Projects at colleges like Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus (1.2 miles east of Hermiston) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services so we’ll flag where the detail needs something different. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. We can work through the snag list area by area and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
