FAQs: The Grange
Who arranges mastic work on a tenement in The Grange?
Work on shared parts is typically agreed by the owners, often through a property factor. Send details and photos, and we’ll quote to whoever is arranging it.
Does a coastal location like The Grange affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
We use the product the specification names. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in The Grange
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is different trades sealing to different standards and early adhesion failures on new external joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in The Grange it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around The Grange, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Building and refurbishing in The Grange
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from The Grange. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Building work in The Grange comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
On a campus such as University of Edinburgh, which lies north of The Grange, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Blackford Business Park, which lies south of The Grange, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

When to call us in The Grange
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
Extensions at sites like Astley Ainslie Hospital, 0.6 miles to the south-west of The Grange, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are typically sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
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. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. Early involvement means gaps, products and access are sorted before the programme bites. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. Getting access arranged for a building in The Grange takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
