What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Saughtonhall
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have different trades sealing to different standards and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Saughtonhall tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
City-centre sites in Scotland usually mean booked deliveries, tight storage and shared access. Our CSCS-carded applicators work to the site induction, the programme and the sequence of trades.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Edinburgh. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Saughtonhall: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate, near Saughtonhall, within your area?
Yes, sites like West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Saughtonhall. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work to our specification?
We use the product the specification names. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For premises in Saughtonhall, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
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.
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.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. A single team keeps the standard consistent.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What affects the price in Saughtonhall
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Construction mastic around Saughtonhall: points for this area
Saughtonhall lies within about 3 miles of the sea. 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. In Saughtonhall, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
New units and refits on sites such as West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate (to the south of Saughtonhall) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotels like Twin Lions Hotel, less than half a mile to the north-west of Saughtonhall, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Extensions at sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital (to the west of Saughtonhall) normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
