Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team before sealing starts.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Maybury
On refurbishments, the mastic package normally includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. If you’re dealing with missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Maybury from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Maybury, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Expect some settlement in the first months. The right product in each joint copes with that while rigid fillers and caulk can crack where movement is larger. If that happens, let us know.
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.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Can work at a site such as Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus fit around teaching?

Mastic packages on Maybury sites
Maybury is within about 3 miles of the coast. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The area within 2 miles of Maybury holds plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
University estates such as Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus, 1.5 miles to the south-east of Maybury, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Gyle Shopping Centre, under half a mile to the south of Maybury, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital (1.9 miles east of Maybury), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Maybury is about 4 miles west of West End, in Edinburgh. Across the EH12 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Maybury is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
