Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Greenbank
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on shopfront frames, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is patch repairs that keep failing and cladding panel joints that have opened up. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Greenbank from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites in Scottish city centres tend to be hemmed in, with deliveries and storage to plan. We work to the programme and the site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Greenbank, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows

Cost factors for facade joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Greenbank
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.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Questions about Greenbank
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate, close to Greenbank?
Yes. We cover Greenbank and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as West Gorgie Park Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Why act early in Greenbank

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, and mask the edges carefully.
Mastic packages on Greenbank sites
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Greenbank. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Greenbank warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Braid Hills Hotel, less than half a mile to the east of Greenbank, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. New wings at hospitals like Royal Edinburgh Hospital, 0.8 miles to the north of Greenbank, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Building work at universities like Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus (1.2 miles north of Greenbank) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
