Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Wester Broom
We work to the specification and the programme, not to habit. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. Most enquiries involve different trades sealing to different standards and frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed, on floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wester Broom tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
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. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Edinburgh. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Signs you need construction mastic in Wester Broom
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Bonded to the base of the joint and both sides, sealant can’t stretch evenly.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
When a college such as Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus, 0.8 miles to the south of Wester Broom, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

Questions we are asked in Wester Broom
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Wester Broom?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Do you work in Wester Broom?
Yes. We cover Wester Broom and the rest of Edinburgh. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover and damaged joints are redone properly.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Wester Broom can form part of a wider programme across Edinburgh.
Construction mastic in Wester Broom: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Wester Broom. Facades and window perimeters on coastal schemes take more wind-driven rain, and salt air nearer the shore, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Wester Broom warrants come from the local authority verifier. We seal to the specification that sits behind the warrant.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Corstorphine Retail Park (to the north of Wester Broom) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. Work at a hotel such as Corstorphine Lodge Hotel (to the north of Wester Broom) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
Wester Broom is about 3 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We cover commercial sites throughout Wester Broom, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Wester Broom is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list for mastic packages.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- 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.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Each joint is prepared, backed to depth and sealed in the product the specification names.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades which is why protection after sealing matters.
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 keeps handover on track.

When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
