Doing it in-house
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
About our facade sealing in Crewe Toll
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. 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. Site teams most often ask us about staining on stone next to old sealant and cold air coming in at window perimeters, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Crewe Toll from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Crewe Toll, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.

Facade sealing around Crewe Toll: points for this area
Crewe Toll sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. 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. Crewe Toll is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. We programme around it with the site team.
Work at a hotel such as Village Hotel (to the east of Crewe Toll) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. When a college such as Edinburgh College - Granton Campus (0.8 miles north-west of Crewe Toll) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. New units and refits on sites such as Drylaw Shopping Centre, less than half a mile to the west of Crewe Toll, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Crewe Toll is about 2 miles north-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. We cover commercial sites throughout Crewe Toll, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Edinburgh coverage takes in 174 places.

Why act early in Crewe Toll
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Crewe Toll affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Would you work within a site like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we will need
