Facade sealing in Cramond, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and previous reseals run over old sealant, across coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Searching for sealant specialists in Cramond? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs a dry, frost-clear joint, and in a place like Cramond that means watching the forecast. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Work we carry out in Edinburgh comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Cramond can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Mastic packages on Cramond sites
Cramond sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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 Cramond holds several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Hospital estates such as Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Cramond, 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. For contractors at a college like Edinburgh College - Granton Campus, which lies east of Cramond, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. For a contractor at a hotel such as Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield, 1.1 miles to the south-east of Cramond, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Cramond is about 3 miles west of Comely Bank, in Edinburgh. We cover Cramond and the rest of Edinburgh, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Cramond is one of 174 places we cover in Edinburgh.

We also cover Braepark (1 mile west), Barnton (1 mile south-west), Cammo (1 mile south-west), Bughtlin (1 mile south) and East Craigs (1 mile south). Nearby towns on our patch include Edinburgh (4 miles south-east), Leith (5 miles east), Bonnington (5 miles east), Greenside (4 miles east), Broughton (4 miles east) and Bellevue (4 miles east).
Near you in Cramond
The closest station to Cramond is Edinburgh Gateway station, roughly 1.9 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find The Gyle Shopping Centre (2 miles south) and Craigcrook Castle (1.6 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s The New Leaf Co-op and Dundas Loch.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Share access with other external trades
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Cramond. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

- Clear, fixed quotes
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Questions we are asked in Cramond
Does the sea air around Cramond change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a smaller place like Cramond outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
