Facade sealing for businesses in Carrington
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The work involved drives the cost: 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:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Carrington
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. If you have new sealant peeling off old mastic and draughts around frames and panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Carrington? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
External sealing around Carrington depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Carrington, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Facade sealing in Carrington: the local picture
The east of Scotland, where Carrington is, gets less rain than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. External dates keep a little give. In Carrington, as across Scotland, building warrants are issued by the local authority verifier under the Scottish regulations. Our job is to seal to that specification.
University estates such as University of Edinburgh - Easter Bush Campus (4.8 miles north-west of Carrington) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Units on estates such as Dalhousie Business Park, 2 miles north of Carrington, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. New wings at hospitals like Midlothian Community Hospital, 3.2 miles north of Carrington, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Carrington is about 3 miles south of Bonnyrigg, in Midlothian. We cover Carrington and the rest of Midlothian, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Midlothian coverage takes in 34 places, from busy centres to rural villages. There’s a separate page for Edinburgh, about 9 miles away.
Postcode districts covered here: EH23. Buildings on Main Street, Primrose Gardens and Manse Road are within our area. Just outside Carrington, we also work in Arniston (2 miles east), Birkenside (2 miles east), Gorebridge (2 miles north-east), Gowkshill (2 miles north-east) and Newtongrange (3 miles north-east). A short drive away, we cover Bonnyrigg (3 miles north), Dalkeith (4 miles north), Penicuik (5 miles west), Loanhead (4 miles north-west), Mayfield (3 miles north-east) and Shawfair (6 miles north).
What’s near Carrington

Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common questions from Carrington clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Midlothian Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Easter Bush Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll tell you which.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
