How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Facade sealing in Broxburn
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and what we’re called in for most is sealant pulling away from frames or panels and draughts around frames and panels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Broxburn, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Broxburn that means watching the forecast. We build some give into the plan and agree it with the site manager.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Commercial clients in Broxburn
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Whether you’re 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.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Share access with other external trades
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Building and refurbishing in Broxburn
Broxburn lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so joint design, primers and product choice deserve extra care. The east of Scotland, where Broxburn is, gets less rain than the west. Frosty spells still affect external mastic dates. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Spott Road Industrial Estate (0.7 miles north-west of Broxburn), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For a contractor at a hotel such as Dunmuir Hotel, which lies north-west of Broxburn, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Hospital estates such as Belhaven Hospital, 1.8 miles west of Broxburn, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Broxburn is about 12 miles east of Haddington, in East Lothian. We cover Broxburn and the rest of East Lothian, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our East Lothian coverage takes in 48 places. Edinburgh is covered too, some 28 miles away.

Nearby places we also cover include Dunbar (1 mile north-west), Spott (2 miles south-west), Belhaven (2 miles north-west), West Barns (2 miles west) and Bielside (2 miles west).

Local landmarks in Broxburn
Broxburn’s nearest station is Dunbar station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Dunbar Town House Museum and Gallery (1.3 miles north-west) and Dunbar Castle (1.5 miles north-west). Not far away are Doon Hill.
When to bring in a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
