About our construction mastic in Murrayfield
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over and we don’t seal before other trades have finished in an area. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you are dealing with new external sealant already peeling away and different trades sealing to different standards, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Murrayfield is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
City-centre sites in Scotland typically mean booked deliveries, tight storage and shared access. Our CSCS-carded applicators work to the site induction, the programme and the sequence of trades.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Window and door perimeters
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
New build and refits around Murrayfield
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Murrayfield. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Building work in Murrayfield comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Murrayfield Hotel, which lies south-east of Murrayfield, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. When units on a site such as Russell Road Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles east of Murrayfield, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Common problems we fix in Murrayfield
Frames installed with uneven gaps make perimeter sealing harder. Sealant has a range of joint widths it can cope with. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
Extensions at sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 0.7 miles west of Murrayfield, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Common questions from Murrayfield clients
How is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in Murrayfield typically organised?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. We are happy to deal with the factor directly.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Edinburgh Napier University for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
