Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Braepark
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. If you’re dealing with cladding panel joints that have opened up and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can help, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Braepark? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When to call us in Braepark
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.2 miles to the south-east of Braepark, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
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 quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Questions we’re asked in Braepark
How do tenement owners in Braepark get shared-part mastic done?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. We’re happy to deal with the factor directly.
Does your area include sites such as West Craigs Industrial Estate, near Braepark?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Braepark, West Craigs Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather, so preparation and product choice matter.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. City jobs in Braepark normally need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Contractors’ notes for Braepark
Braepark is within about 1 mile of the coast. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The area within 2 miles of Braepark holds several hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield (1.3 miles south-east of Braepark), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors at a college like Edinburgh College - Granton Campus, which lies east of Braepark, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
